Irrefutable evidence

Review of the book by Thierry Meyssan “September 11, 2001. Monstrous fraud." M.: Moscow branch of the publishing house "Karno", 2003.

This book created a sensation and instantly became a bestseller in France and then in other European countries. In the United States, the authorities prevented the publication of this book for more than a year, but it was still published - and immediately became a powerful aid for the anti-war and “anti-globalization” movement. The fact that Meyssan’s book not only did not become a bestseller in our country, but, on the contrary, was actually silenced, is a shameful phenomenon, which speaks of the corrupt, puppet nature of the political system.

Immediately after September 11, 2001, a variety of people in our country - from representatives of leftist and Muslim circles to the respectable TV academician from the pro-government channel V. Pozner - began to publicly explain to the United States that since America has created such a planetary system in which all the benefits and wealth the “third world” flows into the USA, and the people of the “third world” only get poverty, disease, hunger, war and death, it is naive to expect that the “third world” will endure this forever and will not strike back at America sooner or later.

The reality turned out to be much worse. It turned out that the “third world,” with all its hatred of America, is not yet capable of an action on the scale of September 11th. It turned out that September 11 is a monstrous provocation, the “worldwide arson of the Reichstag,” organized by far-right “hawks” from the ruling circles of the United States itself. Thierry Meyssan's book proves this, literally leaving no stone unturned from the official version of the US administration.

To begin with, T. Meyssan analyzes the story of the attack of a Boeing 757-200 aircraft on the Pentagon - moreover, precisely on the sector of the building where the Army Counter-Terrorism Directorate was located. The first thing T. Meyssan establishes is that no Boeing crashed on the Pentagon! And that's why:

1) The size of the hole in the wall of the building (recorded in photographs and film documents - before the facade collapsed) does not correspond to the size of the plane: the hole is much smaller (P. 18-20). If we assume that only the nose of the plane crashed into the Pentagon - and then for some reason the car stopped dead in its tracks, without even touching the building with its wings (which cannot be, given the speed at which the Boeing was flying - from 400 to 700 km / h – and the weight of the machine is 115 t) (p. 16, 18), then

2) The wings, fuselage and tail of the Boeing must remain outside and not be damaged. However, they are not there - not even in the very first photographs taken at the moment when fire trucks had just arrived at the Pentagon, but had not yet begun to extinguish the fire inside the building (p. 20);

3) If the rest of the plane had exploded and burned outside, there would have been debris left behind. There are none - not a single one (P. 19-22)! Moreover, during the explosion and fire outside, the surroundings of the Pentagon in this place should have been severely damaged: lawns, fences, pillars, car and helicopter parking areas. They are intact (p. 17);

4) The most reasonable thing, if you intend to inflict maximum damage on the Pentagon with an air strike, is to bring down the Boeing onto the roof of the building (you won’t miss: the Pentagon occupies an area of ​​117,363 sq.m). But terrorists, on the contrary, choose to strike the facade, risking missing, since the height of the building is 24 m, while the height of the plane itself is 13 m (p. 17);

5) The plane crashes into a building, flying strictly horizontally, between the first and second floors - while the very height of the Boeing is such that it COULD NOT crash lower than between the third and fourth floors(p. 17); besides, during a horizontal flight close to the ground, the plane somehow miraculously did not knock down trees, poles, fences (and did not even damage them with the air stream!), car and helicopter parking lots (p. 16-17);

6) Despite its cruising speed and weight, the plane only hit the outer wall of the building, which is incredible (p. 18);

7) The size of the fire in the Pentagon did not correspond to the amount of fuel on board the Boeing. Moreover: Arlington County fire crews were not allowed by special services to the scene of the explosion and fire (p. 21), and fire chief Ed Ploger, when asked by reporters about fuel, said something incredible: “We found something that we took for a puddle, just in the place where we think the nose of the plane was” (p. 22). Thus, something completely ridiculous turns out: part of the fuel ignited during a collision and explosion, but part did not. T. Meyssan uses the word “surrealism” in this regard (p. 21);

8) None of the surveillance cameras recorded the Boeing (p. 22);

9) The air defense services of Washington and - separately - the Pentagon “did not notice” the Boeing (p. 13-15);

10) On the Boeing 757-200, at the moment of hijacking, the transcoder (an automatic transmitter that sends an identification signal and flight data to dispatcher consoles) turned off. It is impossible to disable the transcoder (p. 185);

11) After losing contact with Boeing, the search and interception of the plane was undertaken by NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), which controls all airspace, which sent three F-16 fighters from the Langley base to intercept. Visual contact was established with the Boeing in the air. But the Boeing evaded (!) NORAD tracking, dodged (!) fighters and attacked the Pentagon (p. 14-15, 22), which is simply impossible to believe;

12) As it turned out, the explosion hit exactly the sector of the Pentagon that was under repair. The Anti-Terrorism Directorate has already been evicted from there, the Naval Command Center has not yet been moved in. The premises were occupied mainly by civilian personnel working on their equipment. That is why the victims were mostly civilians and only one general was among the dead. This also explains the small number of deaths - 125 people (p. 18-19);

13) In order to deliver a strike with such increased precision at such a low altitude in a city with a huge passenger plane (Boeing length - 47 m, wingspan - 38 m), you need to train on the ground many times in order to know all the obstacles (which "Arab terrorists “, of course, they couldn’t do it) and, moreover, be a pilot of the highest class (p. 25).

Based on all this, T. Meyssan came to the conclusion that the official version of the “crash of a plane captured by terrorists on” - linden, which he called a "bloody reenactment".

No plane fell on the Pentagon; the explosion was carried out inside the building by people who had access to the Pentagon and had the ability to freely deliver a large supply of explosives inside the building.

At the same time, the Boeing 757-200 American Airlines Flight 77 really disappeared along with all the passengers. T. Meyssan asks questions: who killed them and where are they? He believes that sooner or later the American administration will have to answer these questions (p. 24).

However, some assumptions can be made now. If the Boeing is nowhere to be found, it was most likely drowned (along with its passengers) in the ocean. And, in addition, the damage to the Pentagon that Meyssan described could be caused not only by a directed explosion from the inside, but also by a cruise missile strike from the outside. It is obvious, however, that only they can attack the Pentagon with a cruise missile - and only on the orders of the highest authorities.

Actually, T. Meyssan could have stopped at exposing the “attack on the Pentagon” - this is quite enough to prove that September 11, 2001 organized by the American administration: only knowing in advance the date, time and nature of the attack on the Twin Towers, it was possible to stage a “bloody reenactment” in the Pentagon.

But Meyssan did not limit himself to the Pentagon. He drew attention to a lot of absurdities with the attack on the World Trade Center. Firstly, NORAD was unable, oddly enough, to find direction and intercept the planes that attacked the Twin Towers. Secondly, on these planes, as on the Boeing 757-200, transcoders were disabled.

By the way, the signal from a civilian transcoder disappears if you equip the transcoder in advance with not only a civilian, but also a military code - and upon command from the ground (or in accordance with the program embedded in the on-board computer), switch the transcoder from a civilian code to a military one: civilian radars are equipped with filters , making them “blind” in relation to Air Force objects (p. 15, 185).

And after a series of consultations with experts, Meyssan came to the conclusion that amateur pilots could not get into the middle of the “twin towers” ​​with such accuracy (and even at low altitude in the city, where flying is devilishly difficult).

The wingspan of the Boeing 767 is 38 m, and the width of the tower is 63 m; it is enough to deviate to the side by 5 m - and the attack on the towers would fail. It should be taken into account that at a speed of 700 km/h and the weight of the Boeing, the pilots had only 0.3 seconds to adjust the course (p. 32-33)!

The professionals told Meyssan that there was a way to accurately hit the target: follow the radio beacon. If you install radio beacons in the towers, then the planes will approach them automatically (to the point that you don’t even need to capture them for this, you just need to put the corresponding program into the on-board computer - and then you can control the plane from the ground, they have such technology, it’s called she is "Global Hauk") (p. 33-34).

Meyssan began to search - and found out that There really were radio beacons at the World Trade Center, which apparently turned on shortly before the attack! Their signals were recorded by radio amateurs, since the beacons interfered with transmissions from television antennas installed on the tower (p. 33).

Meyssan was also interested in the collapse of the towers. He found calculations by experts who claimed that the WTC towers could not have collapsed under the influence of the gravity of the aircraft and the temperature of the fire. Moreover, Meyssan found an official statement from firefighters who claimed to have heard explosions at the base of the towers and demanded an independent investigation into the cause of the collapse (which killed many of their comrades) (p. 34).

Meyssan was even more interested in the collapse of “Building No. 7” of the World Trade Center complex, into which no plane crashed. “Building No. 7,” surprisingly, collapsed inward, as if in a directed explosion.

The New York Times found that Building No. 7 housed Secret CIA base, engaged in economic espionage around the world and was in acute conflict with political departments and the General Staff (p. 35-36). The destruction of this base certainly cannot be associated with an “air attack.”

Then T. Meyssan drew attention to the unexpectedly small number of deaths in the ruins of the WTC: 2843 people, including passengers and crews of two Boeings, as well as police officers, firefighters and rescuers who arrived at the buildings - despite the fact that in the WTC towers at the time of the first aircraft the impact there were up to 40,000 people (and even just the total number of employees on the upper floors cut off by the flames should have been at least 4,800 people) (p. 36-37).

Meyssan found a publication in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, in which Misha Makover, director of Odigo, one of the leaders in the field of electronic communications, said that the company received warning of the upcoming terrorist attack 2 hours before it– with a proposal to evacuate personnel (p. 38). It is interesting that after this publication, the FBI prohibited employees of the Odigo company from communicating with the press (p. 104).

T. Meyssan draws an analogy with the famous explosion of the federal building. Alfred P. Murrah in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. The explosion, according to the official version, was organized by Timothy McVeigh, a member of the far-right paramilitary organization “Militia” (created during the Cold War by himself to launch guerrilla operations in America in the event of its occupation by Soviet troops). In Oklahoma City, only 168 people died because the vast majority of those working in the building were suddenly given half a day off work. Meyssan believes that this was done by the FBI to reduce the number of victims (the FBI controls the “Militia” and, therefore, knew in advance in all details about the impending explosion) (p. 38-39).

Finally, Meyssan unearthed an amazing recognition of President Bush Jr., made by him in Orlando (pcs.).

The President said that on September 11, shortly after the first air attack on the World Trade Center, he was shown on television footage of a plane colliding with the tower - and while he was watching this footage, the President's chief secretary, Andy Card, burst into the room with the words: “A second plane hit the tower. America has been attacked” (p. 40).

However, unlike the collision of the plane with the second tower of the World Trade Center (which the whole world could watch live), the footage depicting the first collision was discovered much later - 13 hours after the events, when the Gamma agency published the footage of the Naudet brothers. Therefore, Meyssan concludes, the president was shown other footage - footage of secret filming taken by the intelligence services. But since the special services conducted such filming, it means that they knew in advance about the place and time of the events (p. 40-41).

T. Meyssan makes the following general conclusion: the planes were directed to the World Trade Center building by radio beacons; the companies and institutions located in the buildings (at least some of them) were warned about the terrorist attack in advance in order to reduce the number of human losses; all three collapsed buildings were blown up by charges from the ground.

After which Meyssan asks (not without sarcasm): “Could such an operation be conceived in the caves of Afghanistan, controlled from them and carried out by a handful of Islamists?” (p. 41). And Meyssan puts forward a version conspiracy within the US administration, the CIA and the military elite.

The first thing he pays attention to is thorough intimidation of President Bush by part of his entourage. The plane Bush is flying on - according to CONPLAN, which comes into effect in emergencies (like 9/11) - suddenly "disappears." In fact, the presidential plane is first driven to the base in Barksdale (Louisiana), and then to the base in Offutt (Nebraska). Between the bases, Bush's plane, escorted by fighter jets, flies at low altitude and zigzags, as if hiding from radar and anti-aircraft fire. At the bases themselves, the president is driven along the runways in an armored car, citing protection from snipers (p. 44)!

T. Meyssan also draws attention to mysterious fire in the White House, which arose between the two attacks on the World Trade Center towers (40 minutes before the second collision). Footage of the fire was broadcast on ABC (p. 50).

This strange fire, all information about which later completely disappears, cannot be attributed to air attacks. But one can, however, although Meyssan does not do this, remember that high-ranking American officials on September 11 named the White House as one of the targets of terrorists (according to some statements, it was the plane that fell in that should have dived on it; according to others, the White House was the original target of the airliner that eventually allegedly attacked the Pentagon).

But something didn’t work – and the fire turned out to be “unnecessary”. Agency reports about the explosion on Capitol Hill also turned out to be “superfluous.” But, by the way, after the fire, the White House staff, led by Vice President Cheney, as well as congressmen, were forcibly evacuated “to safe places.”

It is interesting that Meyssan found out exactly what plan of action to defend the White House was carried out after the evacuation of others. This was a scheme to protect the White House not from a plane crash or bombing, but from an assault by a landing party(p. 50)!

As Meyssan established, on September 11, the intimidation of the already not very smart president (and at the same time, apparently, other “intractable ones”) reached an unprecedented level: the president’s press secretary, Ari Fleischer, and then official representatives of the intelligence services reported that the White House Secret Service had received telephone messages from the attackers, in which they warned (why, I wonder?) that they were going to attack the White House and the presidential plane - and, most incredible, the callers used secret codes and ciphers of the presidential office, as well as a number of special services: narcotics, National Intelligence Agency (NRA), Air Force Intelligence, Military Intelligence, Naval Intelligence, State Department intelligence agencies, etc. Each of these codes and ciphers is super-secret and known to an extremely limited circle of people, and no one has the right to have several codes at once (p. 46-48).

It is impossible to imagine that al-Qaeda, or the Taliban, or Iraqi intelligence would be able to obtain such a number of super-secret ciphers and codes. If anyone could do this, it was perhaps Soviet intelligence during the heyday of the USSR (and even that is doubtful).

Meyssan drew attention to two things: firstly, having such a set of ciphers and codes, the attackers could usurp the powers of the president, including command and control of troops. The only way to counter this was to ensure the personal presence of the President at the US Strategic Command Center at Offutt Base (which was done) (p. 49). That is, Bush was frightened by the fact that “terrorists” could seize control of the US armed forces at any moment!

The second thing Meyssan drew attention to: if the attackers entered into negotiations, it means they put forward some demands or an ultimatum. Kamikazes do not enter into negotiations. Meyssan suggested that Bush entered into these negotiations and succumbed to blackmail, after which “the threat receded” (p. 49). This means that the blackmailers were anyone, but not Islamic terrorists.

And T. Meyssan makes the following conclusion: the terrorist attacks in Washington (including the arson in the White House) were organized by people who contacted the president using secret codes and ciphers and who presented him with an ultimatum. Overwhelmed by their capabilities, Bush accepted the ultimatum - and continues to govern the country.

This can only happen if The September 11 terrorist attacks were carried out by a group at the very top of the US military and political elite, – and only if these terrorist attacks were intended to force the president to change the nature of US foreign and domestic policy.

The Islamic trail was falsified. Moreover, it was falsified extremely poorly, primitively, and unconvincingly. And only the monstrous hysteria perpetrated by the American authorities and the media gave this trail a semblance of credibility...

TBILISI, September 11 – Sputnik. The largest terrorist attack in human history was committed in the United States exactly fifteen years ago.

On September 11, 2001, in the United States, suicide bombers of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger planes, sending two of them to the symbol of business New York - the World Trade Center towers, and the other two - to the Pentagon and, presumably, the White House or the Capitol. All aircraft except the last one reached their targets. The fourth hijacked plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

There are also 19 terrorists killed in the attacks, 15 of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two of the United Arab Emirates, one of Egypt and one of Lebanon.

Chronology

At 8:46 a.m. (hereinafter local time), an American Airlines Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) on Manhattan Island in New York between the 93rd and 99th floors. There were 81 passengers (including five terrorists) and 11 crew members on board the plane.

At 9:03 a.m., a United Airlines Boeing 767 en route from Boston to Los Angeles crashed into the WTC South Tower between the 77th and 85th floors. There were 56 passengers and nine crew members on board the plane.

At 9:37 a.m., an American Airlines Boeing 757 flying from Washington to Los Angeles crashed into the Pentagon building. There were 58 passengers and six crew members on board the plane.

At 10:03 a.m., a United Airlines Boeing 757 flying from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco crashed into a field in southwestern Pennsylvania, near the city of Shanksville, 200 kilometers from Washington. There were 37 passengers and seven crew members on board the plane.

As a result of a severe fire, the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed at 9:59, and the North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed at 10:28.

At 18:16, the 47-story building of the World Trade Center complex, located in close proximity to the World Trade Center towers, collapsed.

The exact amount of damage caused by the September 11 terrorist attacks is unknown. In September 2006, US President George W. Bush reported that the cost of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States was at a low estimate of $500 billion.

Investigation and search for those responsible

On November 27, 2002, the United States established an independent commission to investigate the September 11 terrorist attacks (9/11 Commission). On July 22, 2004, the commission released its final report on the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy. One of the main conclusions of the 600-page document was the recognition that the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks took advantage of “deep administrative failures” in the work of the US government.

The only defendant in the United States in the case of the terrorist attacks is a French citizen of Moroccan origin, Zacarias Moussaoui. He was arrested in August 2001 after graduating from flight school in Oklahoma and training on a Boeing 747 simulator in Minnesota. In April 2005, Moussaoui was found guilty of intending to carry out a terrorist attack, which was supposed to be the fifth in a series of tragic events of September 11, 2001. On the personal instructions of Osama bin Laden, he was to hijack a plane and ram the White House in Washington - the terrorist himself stated this at trial. In May 2006, by a decision of the federal court in Alexandria (Virginia), where the trial took place, Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Six other suspects in the attacks were arrested in 2002 and 2003, spent several years in CIA prisons, and in 2006 were taken to a camp at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

In February 2008, the US Department of Defense charged six prisoners with murder and war crimes as part of the investigation into the September 11 attacks.

Charges were brought against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who, according to the 9/11 Commission report, is a central figure in the preparation of the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001; Yemeni-born Ramzi Binalshib (another spelling Ramzi bin al-Shiba), who provided organizational support to terrorists and transferred money to them; Mohammed al-Qahtani, who, according to investigators, on September 11, 2001 was supposed to become another, the 20th hijacker of four American planes; as well as Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed Hawsawi (other spelling Mustafa Ahmad Khausawi) and Walid bin Attash.

In May 2008, the Pentagon dropped charges against Mohammed al-Qahtani.

After President Barack Obama ordered the suspension of all military prosecutors at Guantanamo Bay in January 2009 and vowed to close the facility, the military was forced to drop the charges. However, this promise of the president remained unfulfilled.

Having received no support in Congress, the head of state in early March 2011 ordered the resumption of military trials against terrorism suspects held in the Guantanamo Bay prison.

In early April 2011, US Attorney General Eric Holder confirmed that the accused Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other defendants in the September 11 case would not appear before a US civilian court, but before a special military commission at the Guantanamo Bay base.

On May 31, 2011, US military prosecutors again charged five suspects, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, with involvement in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack.

On May 5, 2012, a military tribunal formally charged five suspects with involvement in organizing the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the United States. They are accused of conspiracy, attacking civilians, intentionally causing physical harm, murder, violating the laws of war, causing destruction, hijacking and terrorism.

All five defendants refused to answer whether they plead guilty.

In July 2014, a military tribunal at Guantanamo Bay ruled that one of the five accused in the attack, Ramzi Binalshiba, should be tried separately because of a report from military doctors that he had a “serious mental illness.”

Hearings in the case of those accused of involvement in organizing the terrorist attack continue.

Iran's responsibility

In March 2016, New York District Judge George Daniels entered a default judgment requiring Iran to pay $7.5 billion to relatives and other representatives of those killed at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The judge determined that Iranian authorities must pay another three billion to insurers who covered property damage and other material losses. Earlier, Judge Daniels ruled that Tehran could not prove its non-involvement in providing assistance to the organizers of the terrorist attack, and therefore the Iranian authorities bear a share of responsibility for the damage caused during it.

Memorial and new World Trade Center

On September 11, 2011, the World Trade Center Memorial was opened on the site of the destroyed Twin Towers in New York. It consists of two square fountain pools located right at the bases of the former twin towers, along the inner walls of which streams of water cascade into square holes located at the bottom of each of the pools. The names of 2,983 terrorist victims (including six who died in the 1993 World Trade Center attack) are carved into bronze slabs that line the parapets of both fountains.

In November 2014, the new World Trade Center complex opened. It is the fourth tallest skyscraper in the world - its height is 541 meters. Construction began in April 2006 on the corner of a 65,000-square-meter site where the twin towers of a destroyed shopping center previously stood.

Since 2002, September 11 has been celebrated in the United States as Patriot Day; since 2009, after the approval of Act 111-13 of the US General Law, this date is also referred to as the national Day of Service and Remembrance.

In memory of the tragedy of September 11, 2001 (part 2)

Ten years ago, 19 men trained by Al Qaeda carried out a coordinated terrorist attack on the United States. It took several years to develop the plan for the terrorist attack. Terrorists simultaneously hijacked 4 large passenger planes with the intention of using them to destroy the most famous landmarks in the United States, taking as many lives as possible. Three planes reached their targets, the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. In one day, these acts of mass murder killed about 3,000 people from 57 countries. Of these, more than 400 died - firefighters, police officers and ambulance crews. This event received the maximum coverage in the entire history of the media, and even ten years later it is difficult to look at these photographs. The attacks and the response to them have greatly shaped the world we live in today, which is why it is important to look at these photographs and remember what happened that day.

On September 11, 2001, in the United States, suicide bombers from the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger planes - the World Trade Center towers, and two others - the Pentagon and, presumably, the White House or the Capitol. All aircraft except the last one reached their targets. The fourth hijacked plane crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Victims of the September 11 attacks, including 343 firefighters and 60 police officers. Not only US citizens, but 92 other countries died. 2,753 people were killed in New York, 184 people were killed in the Pentagon, and 40 people crashed in Pennsylvania.

There are also 19 terrorists killed in the attacks, 15 of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two of the United Arab Emirates, one of Egypt and one of Lebanon.

At 8:46 a.m. (hereinafter local time), an American Airlines Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC) on Manhattan Island in New York between the 93rd and 99th floors. There were 81 passengers (including five terrorists) and 11 crew members on board the plane.

At 9:03 a.m., a United Airlines Boeing 767 flying from Boston to Los Angeles crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center between the 77th and 85th floors. There were 56 passengers and nine crew members on board the plane.

At 9:37 a.m., an American Airlines Boeing 757 flying from Washington to Los Angeles crashed into the Pentagon building. There were 58 passengers and six crew members on board the plane.

At 10:03 a.m., a United Airlines Boeing 757 flying from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco crashed into a field in southwestern Pennsylvania, near the city of Shanksville, 200 kilometers from Washington. There were 37 passengers and seven crew members on board the plane.

As a result of a severe fire, the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed at 9.59, and the North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed at 10.28.

At 18.16, the 47-story building of the World Trade Center complex, located in close proximity to the World Trade Center towers, collapsed. A fire started in it.

The exact amount of damage caused by the September 11 terrorist attacks is unknown. In September 2006, US President George W. Bush reported that the damage from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks was the lowest estimate for the United States.

On November 27, 2002, the United States established an independent commission to investigate the September 11 terrorist attacks (9/11 Commission). In 2004, she released the final report on the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy. One of the main conclusions of the 600-page document was the recognition that the perpetrators of the terrorist attacks took advantage of the work of the US government and intelligence agencies.

The only person convicted in the case of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States is a French citizen of Moroccan origin, Zacarias Moussaoui. He was arrested in August 2001 after graduating from flight school in Oklahoma and training on a Boeing 747 simulator in Minnesota. In April 2005, Moussaoui was found guilty of intending to carry out a terrorist attack, which was supposed to be the fifth in a series of tragic events of September 11, 2001. On the personal instructions of Osama bin Laden, he was supposed to hijack a plane and go to ram the White House in Washington - this is what a terrorist talks about.

In May 2006, by a decision of the federal court in Alexandria (Virginia), where the trial took place, Zacarias Moussaoui was sentenced.

Six other suspects in the attacks were arrested in 2002 and 2003 and spent several years in CIA prisons and, in 2006, at the US base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

In February 2008, the US Department of Defense was accused of murder and war crimes as part of the investigation into the September 11 attacks.

Charges were brought against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who, according to the 9/11 Commission report, is a central figure in the preparation of terrorist attacks in the United States; Yemeni-born Ramzi Binalshib (another spelling Ramzi bin al-Shiba), who provided organizational support to terrorists and transferred money to them; Mohammed al-Qahtani, who, according to investigators, on September 11, 2001 was supposed to become another, the 20th hijacker of four American planes; as well as Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, Mustafa Ahmed Hawsawi (other spelling Mustafa Ahmad Khausawi) and Walid bin Attash.

Hearings in the case of those accused of involvement in organizing a terrorist attack.

In March 2016, New York District Judge George Daniels entered a default judgment requiring Iran to pay $7.5 billion to relatives and other representatives of those killed at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The judge determined that Iranian authorities must pay another three billion to insurers who covered property damage and other material losses. Earlier, Judge Daniels ruled that Tehran could not prove its non-involvement in providing assistance to the organizers of the terrorist attack, and therefore the Iranian authorities are liable for the damage caused during it.

In September 2016, the US Congress passed a law allowing the heirs of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia, whose citizens were the majority of the terrorists who carried out the attacks. Already in early October 2016, an American woman who lost her husband during the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, filed her first lawsuit against Saudi Arabia. In March 2017, relatives of the victims in the United States. In April, it was reported that more than two dozen US insurers had filed a lawsuit against two Saudi Arabian banks and companies linked to Osama bin Laden's family, as well as several charities, for a total of at least $4.2 billion in connection with the attacks.

Over 11 years after the catastrophic destruction World Trade Center, the government of the city of New York finally puzzled itself with the question: what could have happened to 1116 the victim who disappeared into it?

Every time a building collapsed in history, all the bodies of the victims were removed from the rubble more or less intact. The reason is that in collapsing buildings, human bodies are crushed, but do not disintegrate into tiny particles or disappear without a trace.

However September 11, 2001 The most famous "building collapse" in history somehow led to the magical disappearance of more than 1 thousand victims' bodies. Despite the careful efforts of sifting and digging, not a scrap of skin, a fragment of a fingernail, or a splinter of bone from any of these bodies was found.

But this secret is not the only one. There is little left of the 1,634 inhabitants of the World Trade Center who did not completely disappear. Most of the human remains discovered and identified by DNA were in the form of tiny, atomized particles rather than entire bodies.

What happened to the nearly 3 thousand human bodies that were annihilated during the ten-second disappearances of the 110-story Towers? Answer: the same as with office furniture, filing cabinets, telephones, computers and other contents of skyscrapers. Almost no remains of these objects were found.

They, like the bodies of people, somehow became a mixture of tiny fragments and less than 100 microns of dust, carried to the sea and slowly settled in the Atlantic Ocean. As one of the sifting diggers noted, the largest piece of office furniture recovered from Epicenter was a tiny piece of a telephone keypad.

Today, more than 11 years later, the New York City government is finally acknowledging the mystery. In a memo to the families of those killed in 9/11, New York City official Casey Holloway announced that this Monday, April 1, the city's Chief Medical Examiner will begin sifting through the wreckage of the World Trade Center structures at the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island. 60 truck trips for its removal. A city spokesman said they hope to find the remains of at least some of the 1,116 victims.

Unfortunately, the chances of finding any significant new death toll appear slim. After all, the debris of the Twin Towers - which by mass made up less than 50 percent of the Towers (what happened to the rest of this mass?) had already been carefully sifted and dug up more than 10 years ago.

The city's decision to sift through the rubble starting April 1 bears more than a passing resemblance to George W. Bush's decision to crouch down to search under his desk for missing Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Is this some kind of cruel April Fool's joke?

The absence of crushed but intact human bodies, office furniture and equipment, and 50 percent of the Towers' mass suggests that the Twins did not collapse - they exploded. This may explain why the entire roof of the nearby Deutsche Bank building was discovered in 2006 to be littered with tiny fragments of human bones.

The simple gravitational collapse underlying the conclusions of the official government NIST report could not have blown human skeletons into fragments and led to the deposition of these fragments throughout the roof of a neighboring building.

Were the Twin Towers and the thousands of people inside them blown to pieces using explosives? This is what many family members of 9/11 victims believe. Robert McIlvaine, whose son Bobby died at the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, said about half the family shared the suspicion that the Towers were blown down in a false flag attack. Notorious 9/11 hero William Rodriguez, who has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people around the world, is another 9/11 survivor who claims evidence of "controlled demolition" is an open secret.

Scientist Carl Sagan once observed that “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” But sometimes the lack of evidence is indisputable evidence of guilt. The absence of entire bodies, office contents and half the mass of the Twin Towers is irrefutable evidence confirming that the Towers were demolished by an explosion.

The missing contents and mass of the Twin Towers are not the only mysterious "absence" associated with 9/11. Other notable "missing clues" include:

▪ The absence of more than 80 US government videos of the attack on the Pentagon, some of which were seized by FBI agents literally moments after the attack. Only a few images have been released, and these images only show the explosion at the Pentagon, but not the large airliner.

▪ The absence of 100 thousand kg of the passenger Boeing 757, which is believed to have crashed into the Pentagon. There is not a single film of this 100-ton airliner wreckage, or of the aircraft's baggage and passenger remains, that was ever removed from any of the three widely separated Pentagon kill zones.

▪ The absence of 100 thousand kg of Boeing 757, which allegedly sunk into soft ground under a shallow crater with a diameter of 15 feet (4.6 m; approx.) in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. There is not a single piece of evidence that 100 tons of debris from the airliner, along with what was left of passengers and luggage, were removed from the ground at the supposed crash site.

▪ The airlines' lack of official passenger lists, security footage, ticket stubs, statements from airline workers, or any other factual evidence indicating that the 19 young Arab men accused of the 9/11 attacks were even on the planes.

▪ No audio recordings of FAA personnel reporting to each other about their experiences on 9/11. These records were seized by an FAA inspector, cut up into small pieces, and then scattered across many widely spaced trash cans - never to be collected and recovered.

▪ The absence of indestructible “black boxes” of planes that crashed into the Twin Towers. The US government claims that these flight data recording devices were never found, but early responses indicated that they were present when FBI agents found and seized them.

▪ The lack of the most important evidence the government cites - audio and video recordings of protracted torture sessions and scripted false confessions of the mentally disabled "9/11 mastermind" Abu Zubaydah and his "associate" Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The CIA admits it illegally destroyed the tapes, anonymous accounts of which are cited second-hand in the 9/11 Commission report as its only evidence in support of the 19-hijacker theory.

Even plastic phones did not crumble into dust or melt, where did the bones and flesh of people go?

▪ The absence of any plausible and innocent explanation for the BBC's premature reporting of the collapse of Building 7 of the World Trade Center, Larry Silverstein's admission that he demolished WTC 7, and (of course) the apparently controlled nature of the demolition of that building.

In each of these cases - as in the case of the 1,116 missing victims - the lack of evidence is irrefutable proof of guilt.

The US government now faces a complete lack of legitimacy.
