   Treason, Betrayal and Deceit: 9/11 and Beyond   
      
   By Alan Sabrosky.   
      
   September 10, 2009 "Information Clearing House' -- The attacks on September   
   11, 2001 have been a defining moment for America. The political and   
   psychological impact on Americans of a concerted and visible attack in   
   America was enormous -- indeed, it is an interesting "coincidence" that the   
   attacks occurred on the one day of the year whose mention reinforces a   
   public sense here of danger and emergency: 9-1-1.   
      
   A significant development in the 1990s was the formation of the   
   neo-conservative think tank known as PNAC (Project for a New American   
   Century), whose members prepared position papers for the Israeli government   
   and for a future US Administration sharing their views. That happened in   
   2000 with the election of George W. Bush, and a contemporary writer   
   summarized the tip of the neo-conservative iceberg in his first   
   Administration this way:   
      
   The "outsiders" from PNAC were now powerful "insiders," placed in important   
   positions from which they could exert maximum pressure on US policy.PNAC had   
   a lock on military policy-creation in the Bush Administration.   
      
   Especially significant in terms of subsequent events was the acknowledgement   
   in one of PNAC's own documents that their program for America (and Israel)   
   would not readily be accepted by the American people. What this meant, PNAC   
   opined in 2000, was that "the process of transformation, even if it brings   
   revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic   
   and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."   
      
   9/11 Reconsidered   
      
   On September 11, 2001, the PNAC people in and out of government -- and by   
   extension AIPAC and Israel -- "coincidentally" got the event they needed,   
   barely eight months after coming into office. Most people are familiar with   
   the basic details of that day -- two commercial aircraft crashing into the   
   two tallest buildings in New York City's World Trade Center (WTC), a third   
   striking the Pentagon, and a fourth ending up in a Pennsylvania field. Few   
   people will forget the images of the burning buildings, their collapse, the   
   casualties, and the sense of shock and tragedy that ensued.   
      
   The official 9/11 Commission's work and report were at best an incomplete   
   exercise. Many people dismiss the findings of the Commission, and that   
   includes its co-chairs. Many others who utterly distrust the 9/11 Commission   
   report, dismiss the US Government's explanation of it, and point to both an   
   official cover-up and an "inside job," include veteran fighter pilots, EMTs   
   (Emergency Medical Technicians), air defense experts, experienced commercial   
   pilots, demolition experts, architects and civil engineers - none of them   
   professions that inherently attract and retain the gullible and credulous.   
      
   Several things are very clear to me from a careful assessment of both   
   official and critical evaluations of the 9/11 attacks. First, the striking   
   aircraft alone simply could not have brought down either of the two   
   buildings in the manner in which they fell, much less a third building which   
   was not hit by a plane (I expect the one intended to do that as a "cover"   
   had ended up in that Pennsylvania field), given the available physical   
   evidence and a wealth of expert testimony. This means the attackers had   
   assistance on the ground, and it had to have been active before the attacks   
   occurred: preparing buildings for controlled demolition is not something   
   done haphazardly in the midst of chaos.   
      
   Second, only two intelligence agencies had the expertise, assets, access and   
   political protection to execute 9/11 in the air and on the ground: our CIA   
   and Israel's Mossad. Only one had the incentive, using the "who benefits"   
   principle: Mossad. And that incentive dovetailed perfectly with the neo-con's   
   agenda and explicitly expressed need for a catalytic event to mobilize the   
   American public for their wars, using American military power to destroy   
   Israel's enemies. Only the unexpected strength of the Iraqi resistance kept   
   Syria and Iran from being attacked in the second Bush Administration. Thus,   
   the evidential trail for 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq run from   
   PNAC, AIPAC and their cohorts; through the mostly Jewish neo-cons in the   
   Bush Administration; and back to the Israeli government. None of the denials   
   and political machinations can alter that essential reality. Terms such as   
   treason, betrayal and deceit do not overstate the case against them.   
      
   Finally, we need to take a hard look at why the mainstream media (MSM) have   
   paid more attention to Sarah Palin's wardrobe than they have to dissecting   
   blatant falsehoods, discrepancies and inconsistencies in the US Government's   
   treatment of 9/11 and its aftermath. And the reason is that on this issue,   
   all are on the same side, and the official line is the one they all prefer -   
   "all" meaning the PNAC alumni who took over the Bush Administration's   
   national security apparatus and their counterparts in the Obama   
   administration, AIPAC and the rest of the numerous Jewish PACs, the MSM   
   owners and Israel. The depiction of the media management in America in 2002   
   is especially informative, and has not changed significantly since then:   
      
   CEOs and Directors of companies change as often as Boards of Directors vote.   
   But if we could "freeze frame" the CEOs of the largest US Media companies in   
   mid 2002, we would find that ten Jewish American men ran the vast majority   
   of US television networks and other media companies including movies, radio,   
   and publishing at that time. Not much has changed today.   
      
   Looking Ahead   
      
   Today we are getting the same line on Iran, from the same type of people --   
   Obama himself tries to be more independent, but most of the key staff and   
   national security people in his Administration do not differ greatly on   
   Israel and the Middle East from those of his predecessor. And the Congress   
   has shown itself to be even more of AIPAC's lap-dog than the preceding   
   Congress, an exercise in self-serving cowardice that admittedly has taken   
   some doing.   
      
   But AIPAC and company are riding a tiger in America, and if they ever slip,   
   the resulting convulsion will be catastrophic for them and for Israel. The   
   open unfolding of the 9/11 tragedy and its ensuing wars that is now   
   occurring can be that slip. The human cost to America to date is some 60,000   
   people, military and civilian, killed or wounded on 9/11 and in Iraq and   
   Afghanistan together, with more to come once we go to war with Iran (or get   
   dragged into it following an Israeli attack on Iran). Much of the   
   deliberately misdirected rage that followed 9/11 has given way to endurance   
   and grief.   
      
   But grief is a close cousin to rage, and an enraged America is not pretty,
