"It should be noted that before 9/11 and after assuming the presidency (apparently illegaly), the Bush administration became the first American administration to openly call for the formation of a Palestinian state. While many Zionists (like Noam Chomsky) advocate this solution, the Israeli political elite, led by Likud, the ideological progeny of the Irgun (the terrorist movement that called for a “Greater Israel” encompassing Jordan, Syria, and the Sinai peninsula in addition to Palestine) have no intention of allowing a Palestinian state into being. Tellingly, upon their arrest, the five so-called “Dancing Israelis” said that “your problem is our problem…the Palestinians are the problem.” Also, the first claim of responsibility for the attacks was made by the Democratic Front for the Liberation Palestine, and we all remember the American media showing us dubious video of “Palestinians celebrating the attacks”. It appears that the original plan, in other words, may have been to blame Palestinian terrorists!”

"As we know, it did not happen this way, and the Bush administration had to make a quick decision–either” a) go along, and doom the Palestinian people,

b) expose the real perpetrators and for all intents and purposes spell the end of Israel as anything but a rogue state living on nuclear blackmail a la North Korea or

c) sacrifice an intelligence asset in Osama bin Laden, someone few people would care to defend.

"The Bush/Saudi power bloc saw in this third way an opportunity to pursue their own regional agenda, and for their trouble earned the title of “most likely suspects” from the 9/11 truth movement that has from the beginning–especially at the beginning–been heavily populated by Zionist apologists who have long tried to dismiss speculation about the thermite/explosive destruction of Zionist Larry Silverstein’s WTC as misguided or wrong, favoring the LIHOP (Let it Happen on Purpose) theory whereby–you guessed it, Bush and the Saudis either allowed or assisted the hijackers to carry out the hijackings and crashes which ‘naturally’ led to the towers’s ‘collapse’. (Many Israeli agents publish books promoting this narrative.)”

"With demolition now accepted by most serious researchers, the tactic has shifted to, among others, promoting the ridiculous ‘space beams dustified the steel’ work by Judy Wood to muddy the waters by fielding an army of positive reviewers for her book so the public can be told or led to believe that her work is indeed representative of the demolition argument.”

"In regards to Thermite, while it is possible that it was indeed such an advanced form of thermite used, in conjunction with regular thermite and conventional military-grade explosives to demolish the towers, the only hard evidence for it comes from analysis by a few individuals of dust samples solicited from the public by Dr. Steven Jones, in whose custody all samples were before being analyzed. Despite Dr. Jones’ early contributions to the truth movement, his credibility is made suspect by among other things his authorship of a pseudo-scientific paper purporting to find evidence of Jesus visiting pre-Columbian America (a tenet of his Mormon faith) in Mayan art as well as attempts of his to portray none other than fellow Mormon Glenn Beck as a (perhaps stealth) advocate of 9/11 truth. Jones and Ryan were cofounders of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, a vehicle by which they have attempted to use the outdated notion of academic peer review to control the discourse of the truth movement. It is notable that Jones’ position in the truth movement was buttressed in large part when his original partner, cofounder with him of Scholars for 9/11 Truth James Fetzer, began to promote the work of Judy Wood, provoking a split whereby the Scholars group was divided into two, with most supporters naturally siding with Jones over Fetzer.”

"Such manufactured false choice dilemmas are quite common and involve the promotion of a bad choice, in this case Jones, by way of an even worse choice (Fetzer). It could be argued that the same tactic is being employed in the case of 9/11 guilt with the false choice being between the criminal Bush cabal (bad choice) and an independent al Qaeda movement (worse choice), or for that matter as alluded to earlier, Palestinians (worst choice.)”

"The nano-thermite link may also be a red herring in that, as with the anthrax strains used in the post 9/11 mailings, the technology developed by the U.S. military could easily have fallen into the hands of other parties, and Israel is well known to be an avid collector of classified U.S. military technology as documented by the work of former Congressman Paul Findley as well as by the U.S. government itself. In the case of the anthrax mailings we find a familiar pattern–the accused, Bruce Ivins, suicided before a case could be presented in court, and some ‘skeptics’ intent on finding an Arab link when the clear suspect should instead be one Philip Zack–a former employee at Ft. Detrick who was guilty of harassing an Arab American colleague and who is known to have accessed the lab there after he was no longer authorized to. Just as Zack could easily have obtained the anthrax and transferred it to Israel, any number of disloyal employees of the U.S. military labs developing nano-thermite could have transferred that technology illicitly.”

"We must therefore take great pains to avoid falling into the trap of assuming that what little we can learn about the real agendas at play from traditional or ‘alternative’ media is the end of the story. While we may in this manner uncover and perhaps even neutralize some lower-level servants, witting or not, of these agendas, we may also miss (with tragic consequences) the forest for the trees. To suggest that it was a faction of fanatical right wing Zionists who perpetrated 9/11 is by no means to indict all Israelis or Jewish people around the world–far from it. It is instead to begin to make common cause with the likes of Israel Shahak, Gilad Atzmon, and any number of other liberal anti-Zionist Jews who are as aware of the historical crimes of their elites as we subjects of the American plutocracy are of our own. Those who accuse me of being motivated by anti-Jewish sentiment can only do so by ignoring the fact that so many of my guides and teachers in this quest for the truth behind war and suffering in the world have been exemplars of the very best (ethnic) Jewish traditions of anti-authoritarianism and personal liberation. We, like them, will know peace even as we struggle and fail to achieve it for humanity in our lifetimes.”
