(When 49% of the residents of New York City and 41% of New York state

believe that the government either knew beforehand and allowed it to

happen or was involved and played a part in 9/11 happening, it is certainly hard

to play this off as just some " conspiracy theory " of a few " lunatic fringe " .)

 

 

 

 

MCKINNEY STILL ON TRAIL OF 9/11 COVERUP

U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who believes that western governments may

be complicit in what would seem to be Muslim fundamentalist terror

unleashed on the West, took another step forward in documenting such

suspicions by holding a formal, eight-hour government hearing in

Washington DC. last Friday. Witnesses who were critical of the 9/11

Commission testified that there should have been more attention paid

to controversial evidence undermining the officially sanctioned view

of events regarding the collapse of the New York World Trade Towers.

McKinney's website explained the reasons for the hearing as follows:

" One year after the release of the 9/11 Commission Final Report many

questions about what transpired on September 11, 2001 and who should

be held accountable still remain unanswered. At this briefing, family

members will address questions about 9/11that remain unanswered, and

the shortcomings of the 9/11 Commission. Other experts and authors

will explore the omissions and errors in the Commission's Final

Report, will provide historical perspective not found in the Report

and will review its recommendations and offer alternatives. "

 

The Bush Administration has consistently and vehemently denied any

foreknowledge of 911 or involvement in a cover up of any of the

specifics. The Administration, almost all holders of high political

office, whether democratic or republican and almost all major media

outlets characterize statements regarding a cover-up by credibly

elected or appointed authorities as " conspiratorial " – both simplistic

and inaccurate, not worthy of serious consideration. Despite, the

position of the Bush Administration – and of the US political power

structure generally – questions about 9/11 refuse to go away and the

Internet itself has predictably become a conduit of such queries, as

well as numerous theories about events that contradict the currently

accepted chronology. A quick Google search shows that about 1.6

million mentions of a 9/11 " conspiracy, " 1.37 million mentions of a

9/11 " fraud, " and 4.4 million mentions of a 9/11 coverup.

 

While the questions and explanations of the panelists regarding 9/11

differed, there was some level of commonality. The majority believed

that the Bush Administration at best ignored a series of warnings

given to them, and at worst actually participated in planning or

execution of the events. They also agreed that the clear motive was

power, and that the events of 9/11 have been highly exploited to

attack civil liberties. The hearing panelists included experts on

security and terrorism, former CIA agents, and families of 9/11

victims. C-SPAN TV was said to be taping the entire event for

rebroadcast at a later date.

 

Cynthia McKinney has been persistent in her questioning of 9/11 and

has attracted critisism for statements on the issue. An article in the

right wing Weekly Standard early in 2005 focused on conflicts of

interest that provide an implicit rationale for her criticisms, as

follows: " Appearing in print just months after the September 11

attacks, McKinney's charges couldn't be excused. Nor could her list of

campaign donors, which included both terrorist sympathizers like

Abdurahman Alamoudi, the former executive director of the American

Muslim Council, and apparent actual terrorists like former college

professor Sami Al-Arian. Nor could her October 12, 2001, letter to

Saudi prince Alwaleed bin Talal, in which she rebuked New York mayor

Rudy Giuliani for returning the prince's post-9/11 " gift " of $10

million and urged bin Talal to donate the funds to 'charities outside

the mayor's control,' especially those that dealt with " poor blacks

who sleep on the street in the shadows of our nation's Capitol. " -CM
