September 11 attacks The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th, or 9/11)[nb 1] were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda upon the United States in New York City and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Four passenger airliners were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of those planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within two hours, both towers collapsed with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the WTC complex, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. Background Attackers al-Qaeda The origins of al-Qaeda can be traced to 1979 when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden Motives Attacks
JFK Conspiracy Theories by Pat Anders Since November 22 will mark the 30th anniversary of the slaying of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the nation is only weeks away from a media-sponsored wave of nostalgia that could eclipse even 1987's rerun of the summer of love. The cottage industry that endlessly theorizes about the "truth" behind Kennedy's death will battle the stodgy "Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone" establishment on a scale not seen since the 1991 release of the controversial film JFK. So what's the big deal? Lee Harvey Oswald was a riddle wrapped in an enigma shrouded in mystery if ever there was one. Questions abound. Official answers to these questions can be found in the report of the Warren Commission set up by President Johnson. Examining the evidence the Warren Report is based upon leads to the conclusion that, at best, the Commission took great liberties in smoothingover contradictions in the information and failed to follow up on evidence suggesting that Oswald had confederates.

2009 Truth Statement 2009 Truth Statement We STILL Want Real Answers About 9/11 [Signatures have been closed as of March, 2010] On August 31, 2004, Zogby International, the official North American political polling agency for Reuters, released a poll that found nearly half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of those in New York state believe US leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks and “consciously failed” to act. Of the New York City residents, 66% called for a new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or the New York Attorney General. In 2004, 911truth.org assembled a list of notable Americans and family members of those who died who signed (see that list of signatories, below) a 9/11 Statement, calling for “immediate public attention to unanswered questions that suggest that people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.” Within the last month, one of these original 12 questions has finally been answered:
The Small World of Wikileaks, Part 1 - What might this have to do with Public Diplomacy? - www.MountainRunner.us By Ali Fisher The now familiar story of the release of documents by Wikileaks and reported by the New York Times, The Guardian and Der Spiegel has been analysed from numerous angles considering potential impact on reputation and the relationship between digital and the more traditional print media. The experience of Wikileaks has much in common with those engaged in Public Diplomacy and seeking to measure their attempts to disperse information on specific issues. Examining Wikileaks provides a case study of an attempt to map a network of influence and identify key nodes within that network. The first step is to establish a baseline, which this post will cover, using data from June (prior to the release of documents). As Julian Assange told the BBC in April the aim of Wikileaks is to allow "whistle-blowers and journalists who have been censored to get material out to the public." Many of the key gatekeepers RT to isolated clusters that in turn RT to their followers. See also:
Attentats du 11 septembre 2001 Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 (communément appelés 11-Septembre, ou 9/11 en anglais) sont quatre attentats-suicides perpétrés le même jour aux États-Unis, à quelques heures d'intervalle, par des membres du réseau djihadiste islamiste Al-Qaïda[1], visant des bâtiments symboliques du nord-est du pays et faisant 2 973 victimes[Na 1]. L’opération Bojinka est considérée comme un plan précurseur de ces attentats. Cette commission a été créée en 2002 pour expliquer comment ces attentats ont pu se produire et pour éviter que cela ne se reproduise[8]. Khalid Cheikh Mohammed a été désigné comme le principal organisateur de ces attaques et a reconnu les faits lors des interrogatoires préliminaires à son procès[11].

War on Terror The War on Terror, also known as the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) is a term which has been applied to an international military campaign that started after the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. This resulted in an international military campaign to eliminate al-Qaeda and other militant organizations. The United States and many other NATO and non-NATO nations such as Pakistan participate in the conflict.[1] The phrase 'War on Terror' was first used by U.S. President George W. Bush on 20 September 2001. Etymology[edit] Letter from Barack Obama indicating appropriation of Congressional funds for "Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism" The phrase "War on Terror" has been used to specifically refer to the ongoing military campaign led by the US, UK and their allies against organizations and regimes identified by them as terrorist, and excludes other independent counter-terrorist operations and campaigns such as those by Russia and India.
Alex Jones Théories du complot à propos des attentats du 11 septembre 2001 Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Les théories du complot à propos des attentats du 11 septembre 2001 regroupent l'ensemble des critiques qui contestent la version couramment admise concernant le déroulement de ces attaques aux États-Unis. Les partisans de ces théories soutiennent que le rapport officiel n'est pas assez complet et comporterait des mensonges et des omissions. Certaines de ces théories ont été initialement portées par le 9/11 Truth Movement, un mouvement dont se qualifient les associations ou personnes qui remettent en cause l'explication et le déroulement couramment admis des attentats. §Historique de la polémique et naissance du 9/11 Truth Movement[modifier | modifier le code] Manifestant du mouvement 9/11 Truth à Los Angeles Dans les semaines qui suivent les attentats, des associations de familles de victimes réclament de la part du gouvernement comme de la presse une commission d'enquête indépendante. §Principales catégories[modifier | modifier le code]
Patriot Act The USA PATRIOT Act is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. Its title is a ten-letter backronym (USA PATRIOT) that stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001".[1] On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act:[2] roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[3] Details[edit] From broad concern felt among Americans from both the September 11 attacks and the 2001 anthrax attacks, Congress rushed to pass legislation to strengthen security controls. Many provisions of the act were to sunset beginning December 31, 2005, approximately 4 years after its passage. Titles[edit]
16 Mind-Blowing Facts About Who Really Killed JFK Government documents declassified after the passage of the JFK Records Act in 1992 prove that the official narrative is bullshit. There is overwhelming evidence implicating the CIA and other United States intelligence agencies, as well as top military officials and corporate entities, in a complex plot to stage a coup against a president who rebelled against their wishes. Many of the facts revealed in this article were gleaned from the book “JFK and the Unspeakable,” by Jim Douglass, which has recently been endorsed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I use Douglass’s book as a main source, as all of his facts are documented in over 100 pages of endnotes, citing declassified government documents contained in the National Archives building in Maryland, which are available to the public. 1. “Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.... 2. 3. 4.

September 11 attacks advance-knowledge debate This article is about 9/11 conspiracy theories. For historical discussion, see September 11 intelligence prior to the attacks. The 9/11 advance-knowledge conspiracy theories center on arguments that certain institutions or individuals other than the perpetrators had foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks. Some of the primary concerns include whether the Bush administration or United States Armed Forces had awareness of the planned attack methods, the precise volume of intelligence that American agencies had regarding al-Qaeda activities inside the United States, whether the put options placed on United Airlines and American Airlines and other trades indicate foreknowledge, and why the identities of the traders have never been made public. Using planes as missiles[edit] The FBI had advance indications of plans to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as weapons, but neither acted on them nor distributed the intelligence to local police agencies.

Transportation Security Administration The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that exercises authority over the security of the traveling public in the United States.[1] The TSA was created as part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act, sponsored by Don Young in the United States House of Representatives[2] and Ernest Hollings in the Senate,[3] passed by the 107th U.S. John S. History and organization[edit] The TSA was created as a response to the September 11, 2001, attacks. The organization was charged with developing policies to protect U.S. transportation, especially in airport security and the prevention of aircraft hijacking. With state, local, and regional partners, the TSA oversees security for highways, railroads, buses, mass transit systems, pipelines and ports. Private screening did not disappear under the TSA, which allows airports to opt out of federal screening and hire firms to do the job instead. Administration[edit] TSA security search
