Take the 9/11 Truth Test
1. Which is the real Bin Ladin?
Taken from five different videos, the images above all supposedly show speeches by Osama Bin Ladin. Which is the real Osama? BONUS: Which one confessed to being responsible for 9/11 in a video found by US troops in Afghanistan in Nov. 2001? (* answer below)
|
2. Do you agree or disagree with the
following statements? |
Y |
N |
? |
|
A. A conspiracy of 19 men sent by Osama Bin Ladin evaded detection by any US agency, plotted to hijack four planes, successfully piloted three of these planes into their targets, and destroyed the World Trade Center. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
B. The question of who financed the September 11 attacks is important - even if The 9/11 Commission Report says the US does not know and "at any rate, the question is of little practical significance." (p. 172) |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
C. Several field investigations that might have uncovered the alleged 9/11 hijackers were terminated prior to September 2001, in each case by the same group of FBI officials. This was probably not due to simple incompetence. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
D. More than a year before Sept. 2001, a military intelligence team called "Able Danger" identified four of the alleged 9/11 hijackers as terrorists plotting an attack in the United States. The Pentagon prevented Able Danger from telling the FBI. The 9/11 Commission Report omits mentioning Able Danger. All this was probably not due to simple incompetence. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
E. Failed Cessna pilot Hani Hanjour, flying a jumbo jet for the first time, executed the maneuver that hit the Pentagon. (Link: See esp. pts. 16 forward.) |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
F. The 9/11 Commission failed to answer the most important questions about what actually happened on September 11. (See also here.) |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
G. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were planned and prepared long in advance of September 2001. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
H. Statements by US officials who tied Saddam Hussein to 9/11 represent an "outrageous conspiracy theory." |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
I. Certain influential US policy-makers and business persons might think they had something to gain from a catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil, if this caused people to support wars and measures like the USA PATRIOT Act. (See also here.) |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
J. Foreign intelligence agencies gave US officials many specific warnings about 9/11. Warnings not to fly on September 11th were issued to US officials, including Pentagon generals and the mayor of San Francisco. Therefore, it's ridiculous to think foreknowledge of the 9/11 events was not fairly widespread among certain groups in the US government. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
K. Yes, it's weird that the president remained seated for 10 minutes in a Florida classroom after he heard that "America is under attack." But it's even weirder that his White House entourage and Secret Service contingent also did not swing into action immediately, but stayed at the school for more than 30 minutes after the second of the Twin Towers was hit. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
L. During the attacks the nation's top commanders - George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Gens Richard Myers and Montague Winfield, and Adm. Richard Mies - all failed to exercise their duties. This was not due simply to incompetence. (See also "Press Picks Up on AWOL Chain of Command" and on Mies see article here on wargames.) |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
M. The 9/11 flights were not intercepted because military war games and stand-down orders blocked standard air defense responses. This was intended by certain US officials, possibly including Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. (See also here on wargames.) |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
N. Some US leaders knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around 9/11 and consciously failed to act.** |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
O. The omissions of the 9/11 Commission tend to involve evidence contradicting the official story of 19 hijackers acting alone - and also, evidence pointing to possible complicity in the attacks by certain people in the US government. |
0 |
0 |
0 |
|
P. Governments in other parts of the world have often staged or allowed terrorist attacks and blamed them on foreign enemies, to keep the people fearful and compliant with otherwise unpopular policies. But this is impossible in the USA. |

3. Can you identify the following persons, or the meanings of the following terms?
4. Fill in the blank:
Telling millions of New Yorkers the Ground Zero air is safe to breathe when you know it is highly toxic, as the White House ordered the EPA to do after September 11th, is a crime comparable to ________________.
5. Do you believe structural failure from fire and "pancake collapse" explain what is happening to the WTC South Tower in the picture below?
NOTE: The arrow points to a powerful "squib" of debris emerging
from the wall far below the collapse wave. Such squibs, which may indicate
the use of explosives, are visible in many photos of the Twin Tower
collapses and in pictures of the collapse of WTC Building 7, the third
skyscraper which fell that afternoon although it was not hit by aircraft.

NOTES *ANSWER TO QUESTION #1: Take your pick.
BONUS 1a: Picture E, a.k.a. "Osama the Stout"
**2, K. In 2004, a Zogby poll found that 49% of NYC residents agreed
with the statement that US leaders had prior knowledge of 9/11 and
"consciously failed to take action to prevent the attacks." Why do
so many people believe that?
No matter what you believe, 9/11 was the result of a
conspiracy.
In the official story, it was a conspiracy of 19 men with boxcutters.
Perhaps you are among the millions who are skeptical of the
Official Conspiracy Theory. Perhaps you too are a "9/11 skeptic."

Do We Really Know the Truth About 9/11?
What really happened on the morning of September 11, 2001? Why did the people
at the top of the US military chain of command--Bush and Rumsfeld, Gens.
Myers, Eberhard, Winfield and Mies--fail to act during the decisive portion
of the attacks? Why did the air defense system fail to carry out its standard
responses for intercepting errant planes, procedures which it had implemented
some 67 times during the nine months prior to June 1, 2001?
How did the World Trade Center towers really come down? What brought down a
third skyscraper, the 47-story WTC Building 7, which wasn't even hit by an
airplane?
Why did it take four years for US officials to admit, only recently, that they
had alleged hijacker Mohamed Atta under surveillance for years before the
attacks, as part of the Pentagon's "Able Danger" operation? Why is
there still no admission that the alleged hijackers of the "Hamburg
Cell" were under surveillance by the CIA and other agencies for years
before 2001?
Why were FBI investigators blocked from tracking the alleged hijackers before
9/11? Why was there no action on early, numerous and specific warnings from
foreign governments that an attack was imminent? Who was protecting the men
who would later be blamed for the "Attack On America," and why?
Why did The 9/11 Commission Report ignore most of the real questions
posed by the September 11th victims' families? Who financed the hijacking
operation, and why did the 9/11 Commission say "the question is of little
practical significance"? Why did the Commission avoid bodies of evidence
pointing to a circle of complicity within the US government and its covert
agencies?
Immediately after 9/11 the US government ignored all questions and embarked on
three broad policies. First, it marched us into a "pre-emptive,"
costly, open-ended "war on terror", with military invasions of
Afghanistan and Iraq, both planned and prepared long in advance of 9/11.
Second, it brought the war home to America, in the form of the USA PATRIOT
Act and related legislative assaults on our civil liberties and the
Constitution.
Third, it shifted literally trillions in spending priorities (in the years
since) from butter to guns. We have seen an economic transformation that
amounts to a "new new economy," one based on war and
confiscation of vital resources around the world, and an infinite surveillance
apparatus at home. (The corporate sponsors, friends and relatives, and direct
members of the Bush regime have been among the
leading profiteers and beneficiaries of these policies.)
We, of the broad based "9/11 truth movement" across America and the
world believe that getting justice for all the victims of 9/11 is the means by
which which we can both achieve peace and secure our liberties. And yet, in
order to do so we must confront and expose the role of the mass media in
supressing the truth of 9/11.
As a consequence, we researchers, activists and ordinary citizens with common
sense are compelled to make our case directly to you, the public, for only we,
the people, can act to expose the 9/11 cover-up.
Every day we are warned of the potential for new horrors, targets of a
strategy of panic designed to keep us quiet.
People in New York City, particularly people of color, are being subjected to
random searches as they board subways, violations of our Fourth Amendment
rights. These searches won't stop any terrorists, because they are not
designed to do so, but may simply be one of the most extensive trial balloons
for martial law in American history.
And this was before the horror of Katrina allowed an even greater test of
military rule on our soil: The commander of US forces moving into New Orleans
declared to the Army Times (Sept. 2) that the city will soon look like
a little Somalia, and that it is currently in the hands of an
"insurgency" that must be crushed.
That is America after 9/11. There is nothing new in governments that
degenerate into tyranny and plunder, or who use the tools of fear, the
"strategy of tension" to keep the people confused and ready to
accept policies they would never otherwise desire. When did a "great
power" launch a war, without a big lie to start it? There would be
nothing new about a government that allowed or even engineered an attack on
its own people for political and economic gain. The list of historical
precedents for both "false-flag" terror attacks and for false
"casus belli" is long and sorrowful, both in this country and around
the world. The United States is not unique.
Shall we be ruled by fear and the urge for flight, or shall we get together
with others and stand up and fight? Shall we stay on the road to perpetual
war, fiscal ruin and a police state, or shall we build a world of freedom,
justice and peace? Shall we remain ruled by the lie, or live together in the
light of truth? Our democracy is under threat, it is in mortal danger. The
truth of 9/11 can help reignite the fire of patriotic dissent in us all and
help bring about justice for the victims of 9/11, both here and around the
world.
We can and must choose a different world! We invite you to participate in the
ongoing 9/11 Truth events in New York City and the World. (frm/nl)
You too can be a multiplier! Click here and here for useful guides on producing your own 9/11 truth events. Or go here to learn how you can get 9/11 truth films on local public-access cable stations in your area. One easy option is to plan a screening of "The Great Conspiracy". You can have your action listed on the calendar below, which has received as many as 1500 visitors in a day.
Challenging Consensus Reality
Unfortunately, while all this
activity is often fun, it's not a game. The present administration, its supporters and allies in both major parties and the media have
practically promised that a new
major terror attack is coming soon. These vague warnings generate hysteria
and are reckless and irresponsible, at best. The powers-that-be have
shamelessly exploited 9/11 for political gain and as the pretext for serial war, trampled our natural rights and liberties, and
devised even worse plans for what to do after "the next attack."
For the 3,000 who died, for the thousands poisoned by the Ground Zero dust cloud and who still having trouble breathing, for the millions now forced to breathe depleted uranium from the continued bombing of Iraq - for you, for New York, for all who value freedom, for all who want their children to grow up in a true democracy - we must expose the 9/11 fraud and end its exploitation by the ruling elites.
Be prepared to fight for truth, justice and
a future as human beings, not tools. May we stay strong as we navigate a way
out
of the wilderness and take up the fight at the gates of society's mental citadel,
challenging the most important
power the very few have over the multitude: the power to define how we see
reality.
The Great Conspiracy
Nothing's Stopping You from Organizing Your Own Showing! Yeah, you!
VENUES TO BE ANNOUNCED | Meanwhile...
WHY NOT BE THE FIRST TO SHOW THIS FILM IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ?
The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw
74-minute documentary by Canadian journalist, media critic and 9/11 activist Barrie
Zwicker. A sequel to his ground-breaking video The Great Deception.
Zwicker reviews historical precedents for 9/11
as "inside job" and examines the imperial agenda underlying state-sponsored
terrorism; how fear is used to befuddle the public; the suspicious failure of the military on 9/11; the
total cover-up of the 9/11 Commission; the shocking evidence that the collapse of WTC7 was a controlled
demolition; and the complicity of the mainstream media in keeping the public
misinformed.
On the high-tech set of a fictional news channel (shot at Toronto's
Berkeley Studios): "On this program, we ask questions the 9/11 commission and
the media never asked. We introduce experts you've never seen before, provide
background you never get... and other information the media keep under wraps. We
avoid thought-stoppers such as anti-American, conspiracy theorists,
and that new word, believedtobelinkedtoalQaeda."
This mockumentary delivers. The Great Conspiracy unmasks the wall-to-wall fraud of the so-called war on terrorism and its lynchpin, the official story of the events of 9/11.
WHY NOT INVITE A SPEAKER TO LEAD A DISCUSSION AFTER THE
FILM?
