Wartawan investigasi AS, Christopher Bollyn menemukan sejumlah fakta baru yang menguak takbir misteri seputar tragedi serangan 11 September 2001 terhadap gedung kembar World Trade Center.

Dalam laporan hasil investigasinya yang dimuat di situs berita Rebel News, Bollyn mempertanyakan keganjilan yang terjadi saat detik-detik gedung kembar WTC itu ambruk ke tanah. Ia menulis, saat kejadian, sekitar 425.000 kubik meter beton dari gedung berlantai 220 itu hancur menjadi puing sebelum benar-benar ambruk ke tanah, sehingga menimbulkan debu panas membentuk asap piroklastik yang sangat tebal dan bergulung-gulung di jalan-jalan Manhattan.

Bollyn juga mengungkap fakta baru bahwa ketika serangan 11 September terjadi, seluruh gedung kembar World Trade Center statusnya dibawah kepemilikan atau sedang disewakan pada seorang inevstor Yahudi Zionis yang cukup berpengaruh di AS, bernama Larry Silverstein. Silberstein ternyata seorang pengusaha “hitam” karena sejak masa pemerintahan Presiden Bill Clinton, Silverstain dikenai dakwaan kasus penyelundupan narkoba.

Fakta tentang latar belakang investor Yahudi itu, tulis Bollyn, kemungkinan bisa menjelaskan apa sebenarnya yang telah menyebabkan gedung kembar WTC bisa luluh lantak dan ambruk. Bollyn meragukan teori yang selama ini dikedepankan kelompok-kelompok Zionis dan kelompok lobi Israel pada pemerintah AS dan media massa, bahwa gedung kembar itu roboh dengan bentuk seperti kue panekuk. Karena menurut Bollyn, tidak ada sisa beton dan serpihan mental yang masih saling menempel, yang bisa ditemukan dalam puing reruntuhan.

Dalam artikelnya Bollyn menegaskan, jika dilihat dari serpihan beton menara kembar dan debu berbentuk asap piroklastik serta adanya zat aktif super-termit yang ditemukan di sisa-sisa debu, sulit menyimpulkan bahwa kehancuran total menara kembar disebabkan oleh tabrakan pesawat yang menghantam bagian atap gedung.

Dalam artikelnya, Bollyn juga menjelaskan mengapa ia memutuskan pindah ke Jerman dengan membawa serta keluarganya. Ia mengatakan, keputusannya pindah bertepatan dengan “perang melawan teror” yang dirancang Israel dan kemudian dilaksanakan oleh mantan presiden AS, George W. Bush.

“Dari riset awal saya terhadap bukti-bukti dan laporan-laporan media, ada indikasi kuat bahwa intelejen militer Israel lah pelaku serangan 11 September 2001 yang menghancurkan menara kembar. Operasi teroris itu dilakukan untuk menjadikan pimpinan Al-Qaida, Usamah bin Ladin sebagai kambing hitamnya. Kaum Zionis yang sudah mengendalikan pemerintahan AS dan media massa, menjadikan tragedi 11 September untuk mendorong invasi dan penjajahan di Afghanistan,” tulis Bollyn.

Ia juga mengungkap dan membeberkan insiden serangan yang dialaminya pada bulan Agustus 2006. Sekelompok polisi yang menyamar, masuk ke dalam rumahnya dan menyerangnya hingga sikunya patah. “Saya pun sadar bahwa insting saya pada tahun 2001 benar dan AS bukanlah tempat yang aman untuk menyelidiki peristiwa serangan 11 September,” ungkap Bollyn.

Di akhir bulan November 2001, Bollyn berkesempatan bertemu dengan mantan anggota parlemen yang juga pakar intelejen, Andreas von Bülow di rumahnya di dekat kawasan Cologne, Jerman. Mereka berdiskusi dan sepakat bahwa ada peran intelijen Israel dalam serangan 11 September 2001 yang dikamuflasekan sebagai serangan teroris yang dilakukan oleh kelompok Al-Qaida.

Untuk melengkapi investigasinya, Bollyn juga menjumpai Markus “Mischa” Wolf, seorang Yahudi Jerman yang dikenal sebagai mata-mata ulung dan pernah memimpin operasi-operasi intelijen di Jerman Timur selama 35 tahun. Bollyn menulis, Markus Wolf yang lahir pada tahun 1923 di selatan Jerman, berasal dari keluarga Yahudi yang cukup berpengaruh. Selama masa Perang Dunia II, Wolf dan keluarganya yang komunis menetap di Uni Soviet. Setelah perang usai, keluarga Wolf dikirim ke Berlin bersama Walter Ulbricht, seorang pendiri kelompok totalitarian DDR di Jerman Timur.

“Dia (Wolf) bekerja sebagai wartawan di sebuah stasiun radio di wilayah Jerman yang masih dikuasai Soviet dan menjadi salah satu saksi mata dalam proses persidangan Nuremberg,” tulis Bollyn. Persidangan Nuremberg adalah persidangan untuk mengadili para tentara Nazi setelah kalah dalam Perang Dunia II. Wolf, tambah Bollyn, meninggal pada 9 November 2006 bertepatan dengan peringatan 17 tahun runtuhnya tembok Berlin.

Selain Wolf, tokoh Yahudi lainnya yang ditemui Bollyn adalah Frau Marek yang bekerja untuk sejumlah agen intelijen termasuk agen intelijen Israel, Mossad. “Marek punya latar belakang ilmu fisika dan ia mengatakan pada saya bahwa ia punya informasi tentang senjata sinar infra merah yang bisa diarahkan energinya dan senjata itu dikembangkan oleh Uni Soviet,” tulis Bollyn.

Mengutip keterangan Marek, Bollyn mengatakan bahwa senjata infra merah itu kemungkinan digunakan dalam peristiwa serangan 11 September 2001 ke menara kembar WTC. Senjata itu menurut Marek mampu meluluhlantakkan menara-menara beton seperti menara kembar WTC di New York. (ln/prtv)

When I was photographing the top of the WTC for Philippe Petit in preparation for the upcoming ‘artistic crime of the century‘ I also wanted to take some photographs that weren’t needed by him in his preparation. I decided to lean over the edge of the tower and look down. This was a very decisive moment to make me realize I wasn’t afraid of heights. I knew before I did this that I did not have this fear but when I looked over the edge and didn’t flinch I was convinced.

आसाराम बापू के अहमदाबाद आश्रम पर पुलिस का ताला
आईबीएन-7 Fri, Nov 27, 2009
अहमदाबाद। पुलिस ने आसाराम बापू के अहमदाबाद स्थित आश्रम पर छापा मार कर उनके 200 साधकों को हिरासत में ले लिया है और आश्रम में ताला जड़ दिया है।
पुलिस उन लोगों की तलाश में है, जिनपर गुरुवार को पुलिसकर्मियों पर पत्थरों से हमला करने का आरोप है। इस पथराव से पुलिस अधीक्षक, उपपुलिस अधीक्षक सहित दस पुलिसकर्मी जख्मी हो गए थे।
जवाब में पुलिस ने आश्रम समर्थकों पर लाठियां भांजीं और आंसू गैस के गोले छोड़े। इसके बाद करीब 200 लोगों को हिरासत में लिया गया है। इन सब पर दंगा भड़काने और पुलिस पर हमले का आरोप लगाया गया है।
पुलिस और आश्रम समर्थकों के बीच झड़प की शुरुआत डीएम को ज्ञापन देने की बात पर हुई थी। दरअसल आश्रम समर्थक एक अखबार के खिलाफ डीएम को ज्ञापन देना चाहते थे। इसके लिए योग वेदांत समिति की ओर से गांधीनगर में रैली निकाली गई।
भीड़ ज्यादा थी लिहाजा पुलिस ने कहा कि सिर्फ 3-4 लोग ही डीएम से मिल सकते हैं। इसपर भीड़ उग्र हो गई और उसने हंगामा शुरू कर दिया। पुलिस सूत्रों का कहना है कि कल हुई भिड़ंत में शामिल कई लोग अहमदाबाद स्थित आश्रम में छुपने चले गए। हालांकि, आश्रम के लोगों का कहना है कि पुलिस जानबूझकर आसाराम के साधकों को परेशान कर रही है।

While I was doing some research photography on top of the South tower of the World Trade Center (for his upcoming coup) I got Philippe to hold my camera while I did a handstand on the edge. I wasn’t really afraid of this as I had my handstand down and I am not afraid of heights. It was an amazing moment to be on the NY’s tallest building and be doing a handstand on the edge of the roof. No one was around and it was a serene and tranquil moment. The photographs that I took that day became the documentation that was eventually used in the Oscar winning documentary Man on Wire.

The 9/11 Never Forget Coalition is holding a December 5^th rally protesting the plan to bring the 9/11 terrorist conspirators to trial in New York City.

The Coalition formed to fight the decision of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in New York City’s federal court, effectively giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of all New Yorkers.  Two weeks ago, we sent a letter signed by 300 family members of 9/11 victims to the President, Attorney General and Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking them to reverse course.  The letter has now been signed by over 120,000 Americans and is posted at http://www.keepamericasafe.com.

via Atlas Shrugs http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/

The trial of the “Gitmo detainees”, having already pled guilty does a bit more than endangering the safety of all New Yorkers.  What a farce to allow them to step one little pinky toe upon the soil they wish so to defile.  Can you imagine the protesters in the name of Allah and jihad perhaps blowing up the court room?

How much will the court proceedings cost?  Does freedom and justice have a price?    Where will they stay?  The Plaza?

On the battlefield, should a soldier stop and mirandize an enemy combatant?  What a precedent.

What about classified information?  What if the jury finds them not guilty, what then?  Are they free to see asylum in the nation they so abhor?  What country would welcome them home?  One of our allies?  Would NYC allow them to roam free in the home of the brave?

As the Chief and Commander of the U.S.A., President Obama needs to rethink the injustice upon America that these men have already admitted to committing.  The injustice will lie upon President Obama’s shoulders and the weight of the hearts of all Americans will weigh him down, rightfully so.

Speeds Reported For World Trade Center Attack Aircraft Analyzed

For Immediate Release

(PilotsFor911Truth.org) – Much controversy has surrounded the speeds reported for the World Trade Center attack aircraft. However, none of the arguments for either side of the debate have been properly based on actual data, until now. Pilots For 9/11 Truth have recently analyzed data provided by the National Transportation Safety Board in terms of a “Radar Data Impact Speed Study” in which the NTSB concludes 510 knots and 430 knots for United 175 (South Tower) and American 11 (North Tower), respectively. A benchmark has been set by the October 1999 crash of Egypt Air 990, a 767 which exceeded it’s maximum operating limits causing in-flight structural failure, of which data is available to compare to the WTC Attack Aircraft.

Egypt Air 990 (EA990) is a 767 which was reported to have entered a dive and accelerated to a peak speed of .99 Mach at 22,000 feet. Boeing sets maximum operating speeds for the 767 as 360 Knots and .86 Mach. The reason for two airspeed limitations is due to air density at lower vs. higher altitudes. To understand equivalent dynamic pressures on an airframe of low vs. high altitude, there is an airspeed appropriately titled “Equivalent Airspeed” or EAS[1]. EAS is defined as the airspeed at sea level which produces the same dynamic pressure acting on the airframe as the true airspeed at high altitudes.[2]

Pilots For 9/11 Truth have calculated the Equivalent Airspeed for EA990 peak speed of .99 Mach at 22,000 feet as the equivalent dynamic effects of 425 knots at or near sea level. This airspeed is 65 knots over max operating for a 767, 85 knots less than the alleged United 175, and 5 knots less than the alleged American 11. Although it may be probable for the alleged American 11 to achieve such speed as 430 knots is only 5 knots over that of EA990 peak speed, It is impossible for the alleged United 175 to achieve the speeds reported by the NTSB using EA990 as a benchmark.

Pilots For 9/11 Truth have further studied if a 767 could continue controlled flight at such reported speeds. According to the NTSB, EA990 wreckage was found in two distinct debris fields, indicating in-flight structural failure which has been determined to have occurred a few seconds after recording peak speed. Based on EA990, it is impossible for the alleged United 175 to have continued controlled flight at more than 85 knots over the speed which failed the structure of EA990.

Full detailed analysis, including analysis of a recent simulator experiment performed, and interviews with United and American Airlines 757/767 Pilots can be viewed in the new presentation, “9/11: World Trade Center Attack” available only at http://pilotsfor911truth.org. Although other factors come into play within the transonic ranges, Dynamic pressure is dynamic pressure. Math doesn’t lie. Boeing needs to release wind tunnel data for the Boeing 767. Despite the fact that the data can be fabricated, such a release of data may alert more pilots and engineers to the extremely excessive speeds reported near sea level for the Boeing 767 in which they can decide for themselves.

Founded in August 2006, Pilots For 9/11 Truth is a growing organization of aviation professionals from around the globe. The organization has also analyzed Flight Data provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for the Pentagon Attack and the events in Shanksville, PA. The data does not support the government story. The NTSB/FBI refuse to comment. Pilots For 9/11 Truth do not offer theory or point blame at this point in time. However, there is a growing mountain of conflicting information and data in which government agencies and officials refuse to acknowledge. Pilots For 9/11 Truth Core member list continues to grow.

Pilots for 9/11 Truth

Tuesday November 17th will see the release of more than half a million private messages recorded on the day of the September 11 attacks upon World Trade Center and Pentagon in the USA.

Julian Assange who has obtained this material from unspecified sources, feels the material sheds more light on the governments reaction – or lack thereof, on 9/11:
“I have only read a few messages, but what I have read, demonstrates how delayed and unprepared the government was at dealing with the situation at hand.”

Julian Assange of Wikileaks has already shown some of the messages to the Danish paper Berlingske Tidende:
“2:20:30 PM A ALPHA. Honey wanted to tell you how much i love you. I was alittle worried.I Don’t want to lose you now that I got you back. You mean everything to me. You have my whole heart and life. Ilove you so much”

As many of you are I am watching a travesty of justice happening, as the ___________ (fill in naughty word) who took down the WTC are being tried in civilian as opposed to military court. I hope you are all aware that unlike in American Civil law, in military courts you are guilty until proven innocent. These guys could end up walking on a technicality.
G-d only allows a society to exist if it keeps certain basic semblances of decency. One such decency is doing justice. A country/state/nation whatever you want to call it loses its moral right to exist if they pervert justice. I can’t imagine any American, certainly any New Yorker, who could stand for these guys being freed. And G-d help America if they are.

In 1942, eight Germans arrived in New York with the mission of destroying civilian targets including aluminum plants and bridges.  The Germans were sure to wear their Nazi uniforms after landing and departing from their submarine until they were able to hide.  They wore their uniforms in case they were caught.

Two of the eight decided to defect from the mission and turn themselves in.  In fact, one of them went to Washington DC to turn himself over to the FBI.  He had to pour out the $84,000 he had as a budget for his mission onto the FBI agent’s desk for him to believe that their mission was for real.  It was certainly a pre-9/11 world.

Democrat President Franklin Roosevelt charged the saboteurs with violating the laws of war, correspondence with or giving intelligence to the enemy, espionage, and conspiracy to commit these crimes.  Roosevelt ordered that they be tried by Military Commission and the Supreme Court backed him up in Ex Parte Quinn. This is despite their lawyers arguing for a civilian trial.

All eight were sentenced to death.  Roosevelt granted clemency for the two defectors, giving one life in prison and the other (who had turned them all in) thirty years.  Six years later, after the end of the war, Truman used his Presidential pardon to set the two defectors free and deport them back to Germany.  The others were put in the electric chair.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is not a US citizen.  In 1993 he masterminded a plot to blow up the World Trade Center.  Six Americans were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.  He conspired to commit other acts of terrorism and planned acts of terrorism.  Then on September 11, 2001, Mohammed’s most terrible plan came to fruition as he directed hijackers to fly airplanes into the World Trade Towers, the Pentagon, and planned for another plane to strike which was brought down by the passangers into an empty field in Pennsylvania.  2,995 people died on September 11, 2001.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed did not have a rank or uniform.  He was not a US citizen subject to US civilian laws.  As a non-uniformed enemy combatant of a country or group that has not been invaded, he is not subject to the protections of the Geneva Conventions.  There is absolutely no legal reason that Mohammed should receive a civilian trial.

Unfortunately, our current President and Attorney General disagree.  Barack Obama, who is not a shell of the man Franklin Roosevelt was, has decided to send Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New York City, where he killed more than 2,000 people, to face a civilian trial.  Mohammed will be granted all the same rights and constitutional protections as any American citizen who has committed criminal acts against the people of the United States.

President Obama fails to realize that we are in a war.  Even if Bush failed to secure a properly worded declaration of war from our congress, foreign radical islamic terrorists have failed to recognize the technicality and continue to claim American civilian and military victims at home and abroad.  Now, Holder must find an impartial jury in New York who have not already made up their minds about Mohammed and 9/11.  By the time he finds an impartial jury, Mohammed will have died of old age.  Either that or Holder could pick a jury out of Obama’s advisors who seem to have already forgotten 9/11, or have no opinion on whether it was right or wrong.

Perhaps the bigger issue is Mohammed’s treatment.  He was brought to a prison outside of US territory and they held him down and poured water on his face.  A US citizen who is treated such a way would rightfully receive concessions in their civilian trial, or even have the trial thrown out.  War criminals also should not be treated such a way.  We have the Geneva Conventions to regulate war and to ensure that troops are treated with respect, especially when they are captured.  However, the Geneva Conventions do not apply to non-uniformed enemy combatants.  The other reason we would normally avoid making prisoners stand in an uncomfortable position for 8 hours (like you do at work every day) or having water poured on their face is because we wouldn’t want our troops treated that way.  For Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who said that he beheaded “that jew” Daniel Pearl himself, I don’t think pouring water on his face would change how he would treat our troops.

What Obama has done, by ordering a civilian trial in New York City, is and should be recognized as an incompetent blunder by this President.  By making it a civilian trial, Obama has done nothing short of declaring the war on terror to be over.  The only problem is that it wasn’t our war to declare over.  Will allowing Mohammed to gloat in a New York City courtroom while Obama blames the mis-trial on the last 8 years prevent the next Ft. Hood?  Will putting the Bush administration on a de facto trial for pouring water on terrorists’ faces make terrorists stop being terrorists?  Or will this victory for Mohammed and his terrorist companions please the radical terrorists as much as it will Europe and the radical left?

With Obama’s early withdrawal from Iraqi cities, months of waffling on Afghanistan, and now shear incompetence with these trials, even New York liberals may be starting to question if Obama is really the man they want answering the phone at 2am.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is set to go on trial for planning the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on 9-11.  Many forget that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is also the uncle of Ramzi Yousef who was the perpetrator of the first attacks on the WTC in 1993. Yousef, who was here on refugee status from Pakistan, parked a van full of explosives in the WTC parking garage and the resulting explosion killed 6 and injured over a thousand others.  Mohammed is believed to have financed Yousef in that first attack as well as orchestrating the attacks on 9-11. The final death toll of that day is around 2985 people. It is a day that changed how we think, how we act, and how we go about our lives, at least it did for a while. Today, “Always Remember” signs will pop up from time to time but has been relegated to T-shirts and bumper stickers. Magnetic ribbons on cars have become so commonplace that they are hardly even noticed.  So, as the trial of Mohammed is about to begin I feel as if time has faded those horrific images for me and I am afraid the same might hold true for others.

After that tragic day, the media lead a charge to celebrate the many heroes involved in saving lives and also those heroes that lost theirs.  Our nation became united in its resolve to heal and we collectively embraced each other in our mourning. I suppose that after such a tragic event it is a natural instinct to look for some way to feel comfort, some way to put it behind, some way to be normal once more. Time does have a way of healing and now, eight years later, the wounds have healed for most of us and the memories are only that, memories.  Each day those memories become more distant and more faded.

My call to you is to not let that happen.  We should all be brave enough to reopen those wounds that gave us so much pain eight years ago.  I want us to feel the horror, the rage and the anger we experienced on that day.  I want us all to feel the fear and chaos that filled our hearts as we saw the towers fall into a pile of rubble.  There were images so horrible that it provoked public outcry at their publication.  There were images of people who leaped to their death.  There were reports of women holding down their dresses as they fell thousands of feet to the pavement. I recall watching video of a man trying desperately to cling to the side of the tower as he came plummeting down. 

 As Mohammed goes to trial we should all be clearly reminded of the events and images of 9-11.  I would like to see this country once again embraced, not in mourning, but in outrage.  Too often, time not only heals but also makes complacent.  This part of our history should not be “history”.  It should remain with us and we should carry it within our hearts each and every day.  This is an anger that should not be allowed to die and memories that should not be permitted to fade.  Yes, celebrate the heroes of that day, but we must recall the horrors of that day even more.  Aristotle said that,” we cannot learn without pain”.  Well, I think we all need to continue to learn from the pain of 9-11 and not only to never forget, but to be forever reminded.

After finding the original location of my 2001 photograph (as seen in WTC Revisited, Part 1), I decided to wander around and photograph Ground Zero some more. Rather than photographing the standard Ground Zero images I focused on the tourists and their relationship with the site.
