Do You Believe The Fed, Gov. knew about the attacks of 911 before they happened?

They knew SOMETHING was coming (remember that report they had in 8/2001, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack inside the US"?), but not exactly what. \n\nI do think Bush & Co. would like a police state, and are trying to get one. Now they are saying that congress cannot investigate the NSA because they don't have the security clearance to do so. Sounds like a free ticket to do whatever they want to me.\n\nOne world government would not work, there are too many ideas of how things should be run. What kind of government would it be? Some group, somewhere, would hate it no matter who was running it. Also there is too much division between wealthy countries & poor ones, secular societies & religious ones. What would be the consensus on, let's say, guns? Most European countries ban them outright, and would not agree with a gov't that allowed them. The US would not agree with a gov't that banned them.

So what?\n\nThe Towers fell. Bad people did it. Thousands died, and tens of thousands were hurt. These facts are not in dispute.\n\nDoes it really change anything to find out that some people in our govt may or may not have been aware of the plot, or participated? \n\nIf the known provable admitted criminal activities of our elected officials aren't enough to get them put on trial, what possible difference can an unprovable conspiracy make in the equation?

The Moussaoui case is only one of a number of indications that the US government had ample warning that a major terrorist operation was under way in the United States and yet did nothing to preempt or block it.\n\n* The governments of at least four countries—Russia, Germany, Israel and Egypt—gave Washington specific warnings of terrorist attacks in the United States involving the use of hijacked airplanes as weapons, in the months leading up to September 11.\n\n* The US government itself had multiple indications of the danger of suicide hijackings, based on its own investigations into other terrorist attacks attributed to Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda network.\n\n* The US government was monitoring the electronic communications of bin Laden and his associates during the extensive period of advance planning which preceded the September 11 attack.\n\n* Several of the September 11 hijackers, including Mohammed Atta, the alleged ringleader, were under direct surveillance by US agencies as suspected terrorists during 2000 and 2001.Yet they were allowed to travel freely into and out of the US and eventually carry out their plans.\n\nSeptember 11 took place amid a virtual stand-down of the security forces which permits no innocent explanation. The circumstances of the terrorist attacks deserve the most serious and conscientious investigation. Both the Bush administration and the Democrats and Republicans in Congress have rejected any such probe, suggesting that to question the role of the FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies is unpatriotic.\n\nBut the facts which are known so far point to the conclusion that officials at the highest levels of the US government knew that a major terrorist attack was under way and made no serious effort to prevent it. The political motive can be inferred: they permitted an attack to go forward—whether they knew its full dimensions or not—in order to provide the necessary pretext for carrying out a right-wing agenda of military intervention abroad and attacks on democratic rights at home.

YOU SAID,\n"For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S.) and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high\nenough to prevent people trapped above from escaping."\n\nIm not convinced that he is speaking of the WTC in this quote. He doesnt mention it anyway. I think this is just general intelligence of a plan to use explosives in buildings.....and if they did.....they would use them high-up floors so people would be trapped.\n\nListen, I know 9/11 was an inside job. Anyone who has really listened to Alex Jones....the retired Generals......the Norad stand-down.....the FBI admitted to us all that they were paying for the houses, the cars, the credit cards of the supposed hijackers......... Sept. '01, 25,000 British troops ensemble in Oman near Afghanistan for Operation Swift Sword on U.S orders.........Marvin Bush was head of company that did security for Dulles and WTC.Bushs WTC contract ended on 9/11/2001.....#7...Norman Minetta testimony.......8:30 in the morning September 11, 2001. CIA was running a drill 15 miles from the World Trade Center that day flying jets into buildings in New York and DC. Targets- world trade center and pentagon.............Bush signing W199i........Silversteins world record insurance policy with the unheard of clause of "act of terrorism" 6 six weeks before the attacks....... FEMA/ARMY FM-19.40...........OPERATION NORTHWOODS,OPERATION NORTHERN VIGILANCE,BIOWARFARE EXERCISE TRIPOD II, ............Rumsfeld predicts terrorist attack in US 2 minutes before 1st WTC plane crash and later predicts Pentagon crash minutes prior.........FAA manager mangled, cut, and destroyed 9/11 tapes........the FL National Guard on alert. ...Pentagon releases poor quality video showing 'OBL' bragging about attacks, but is seen writing with right hand which FBI says he's left-handed, wearing a gold ring and watch which are forbidden in Islam, and Bush Admin uses this video to vindicate US invasion that everybody buys................1999, US paid entire annual salary of Taliban gov't ...........U.S. OK’d a plan the day before 9/11 to topple the Taliban and expel OBL. ....project for a new American centuryKristol.......16ft hole in the pentagon that a "boeing jet" somehow managed to get through without breaking the windows 10 ft away..............Sept 11, an airport emergency operations exercise is being conducted at Fort Myer, a mile from the Pentagon.........White House staff given Cipro on 9/11, full month before first cases of anthrax reported. .............FAA bans takeoffs at 9:26 am for all civilian, military, or law enforcement aircraft \n\nShould I go on? Im so upset from typing that now I dont know what else to say except keep fighting the good fight becuase the real one it is coming.

Come on, anybody that really knows the facts know that the goverment had something to do with the towers! Maybe not bringing them down but maybe allowing them to be hit! DO YOU REALLY TRUST BUSH AND CREW AFTER ALL THEY ARE BEING CAUGHT DOING LATELY?

No "Paul I", those people are not crazy.  In fact, they represent a growing consensus about what happened on 9/11.  They are  brave people who have enough courage to question our governments white wash of the attack.\n\nMost all the evidence that is available to us, show that the WTC buildings were rigged with explosives. Our own government had motive as was well as an opportunity to do this crime. Here is the evidence, presented for your scrutiny. \n\nFAKE CONFESSION\nThe official government story is that the 9/11 attack was orchestrated by Al Qaeda, which is lead by Osama bin Laden. The proof our government provided was a video with Osama confessing to the crime. The problem with the video is that the person in the video does not look like Osama bin Laden: See picture.\nhttp://911blimp.net/vid_fakeOsamaVideo.shtml\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk519bkcLjg\n\n\nEVIDENCE\nThere are many other factors that do not fit the official story. They include, secondary explosions that were seen, heard, reported, and recorded by firefighters, in and around the WTC buildings.\nhttp://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-4574366633014832928&q=firefighter+bombs+in+the+building\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcRs1fv8i3I\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHz9YWVgJWM\n\n\nHere is a video clip showing a trail of explosions just before the destruction wave.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_DkzhonpGY&mode=related&search=\n\nMolten, beyond red hot, "steel" was video recorded coming out of the South Tower just before it collapsed. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to turn steel to liquid.\nhttp://youtube.com/watch?v=ExrVgioIXvk&search=thermite\n\nA chemical analysis of the solidified molten iron,conducted by independent firms, yielded an explosive, called Thermite. Also found was a WTC core beam; most probably cut using the demolition cutting charge (Thermate). No core beams were left standing beyond a few feet high, for it to have been cut by an Iron Workers torch. Click on pic. to enlarge.\nhttp://portland.indymedia.org/en/2006/06/341238.shtml\n\nCONFESSION \nWe also have a video recording, where owner Larry Silverstein, admits to demolishing WTC7.\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7750532340306101329\n\nTESTIMONY\nThere is also a problem with the Pentagon attack. Listen to this retired general, He says, "The Plane does not fit the hole."\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2VoUN-7RVU&eurl=\n\nMOTIVE\nThe New Conservatives (Neo-Cons), with the help of their friends, started planning the invasion of Iraq, shortly after Pres. Bush took office. Apparently, the plan would include the attack of the WTC buildings. It did this to get the support of congress and the nation, to attack Iraq. Read it from their own PENAC document. Pay special attention to the section entitled "Creating Tomorrow's Dominant Force" page 50 and the top of page 51, where it states we need a new Pearl Harbor attack to get the ball rolling.\nhttp://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf\n\nOPPORTUNITY\nWitnesses saw a work crew going into the WTC buildings with rolls of wire, supposedly for internet upgrades. Tenants were moved around while crews "upgraded" the cable systems. The Port Authority cut power to the building for a whole weekend, just prior to the attack; shutting down the entire security systems. Witnesses also heard crews operating heavy hammering equipment that left a gray cement like dust, in the building. This activity took place just weeks before the 911 attack: The Port Authority had released control of the buildings to Larry Silverstein, six weeks prior to the attack: He made upwards of $5 billion off of the attack.\nSee "9/11 Mysteries" video: Time = 1:03:55 through 1:07:00 and 1:19:55 through 1:24:09\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6708190071483512003&q=911+mysteries&hl=en-CA

She was an FBI translator in middle eastern languages. As for the reason why the government is not letting her tell what she knows about 9-11, who knows.

99% probabilty of another 911. No one knows from where and how and with what it will strike. They are taking things beyond imagination, may be from movies. The real world is converting into real movie world. In movies every thing is possible and know in real is becoming possible.

If you want to know that call their last command and ask. The info may not be given out in a post 9/11 era.

ok i've watched loose change four times or so now, and spent way too much time reading on various websites, they make some convincing points...but then they ignore alot of stuff as well...like common sense.\n\ncould there be some conspiracy behind 911? yes there could be. is it these theories that are popularly being advanced currently on the web...no\n\nstart at the end and work your way forward: the point of 911 was to destroy some buildings.  there are easier ways for the government to pull this off than to.\nsecretly swap planes in the air for non-passenger drone places, fly two of them into buildings, which they already rigged with additional explosives, secretly land the planes, secretly kill the passengers, fake a plane crash at one location, get voice samples from passengers to load into a computer to produce fake phone calls to loved ones with, then swap one plane for a missle (never mind that some claim this was a smaller drone plane) fire it into the pentagon, get 100 or so people to claim they saw a plane(this is ignored by loose change which uses two of the four people that claimed to not have seen a plane) then run around real fast knocking over the light poles etc...loose change claims a plane couldn't knock over those lamp poles that way, but never tries to explain how they were knocked over, if we assume that not all 100+ witnesses were cia plants, then we have to wonder why no one went, "and there these guys ran around loosening all the bolts on those lamps and pushed them over and ran off! dam kids!"\n\nloose change and other sources also use alot of broadcasts from very early after the attacks took place during which there was alot of confusion about what happened, live news especially while something is happening doesn't always get things 100% correct and uses alot of speculation to fill in time while they figure things out.\n\nloud thuds of things like, say upper floors falling into lower ones, could no doubt sound very much like other explosions going off.\n\nthe list goes on and on, but this post is getting rather long.\n\nok so lets face it, thats one complicated plan to bring down some buildings.  you could just blow them up, blame who ever you wanted to, say you are investigating how security could have been breached to such an extent, and leave it at that.\n\nits just too complicated of a conspiracy, that would take way way too many people to keep their mouths shut.

In my honest opinion I wouldn't be surprised. Did you know that the american government knew about a possible attack on Pearl Harbor. They knew about it but did nothing. Why? Because they wanted to join the war, but the american people did not want to. So they needed a push, for war. What better push for war than having the enemy attack you on your soil. The one thing maked me believe that the government had something to do w/911, is that there was no plane wreckage or luggage or anything resembling a plane when it went down in the Pentagon and in Penn. Why?
767767
We will be much less safe.  Consider that it was on Clinton's watch that 911 was planned.  Clinton's admin. canceled the Sky Marshall program which gave the Islamists an open invitation.  I realize we're talking about Congress here, but I haven't seen the Dems in the past making any of the tough decisions required to protect the country.

You think the goverment knew before hand?????   i think  your fulla shit too

inspite of what evry one wants to believe, the whole 911 thing was plotted by the american government and osama bin laden is a cia agent.\nproof:\n# it is common knowledge that the us was considering many courses of action in iraq to keep the oil safe before the 911 incident, after that they decided to attack iraq, but what the hell has iraq got to do with 911? huh?its a war on terror. just what the hell is terror?\n#nobody considered the plausability of the idea that getting poor ignorant arab youths to the us to train on small airplanes would be enough for them to acquire the skills necessary to drive a commercial airliner at such speed into such a small target,imagine you were trying to run a car at 200 mile an hour into  a garage door, how easy is that? besides nowhere did we ever hear of a black box being uncoverred and handed to neutral authorities or the recovery of te bodies of the peo-ple involved.\nwhat about the fact that both towers collapsed completly(like an implosion they do on old buildings)to quote the cnn reporter commenting live when it happened , how neat was that?\n# all 911 did was give the USA reason to invade afghanistan whichis  a strategic location near russia and china, and to control its production of opium.\nalso they got an excuse to destroy iraq and drive the oil prices up so that companies owned by bush and baker and rumsfield would profit.\nalso it was used to decrease the civil liberties of the american citizen, turning america gradually into a police state.\namong a lot of other things.\nall  of this makes the administration appear (lucky) to have had this occur during its time,\nbut there is no such thing as luck.\nits a scenario plotted by the cia and carried out by the media to draw a blanket infront of the american citizen  to ensure his  slavery to the corporation  -state.

you are right to be curious, there are major cover-ups going on regarding 9/11. i would invite you to view www.911truth.org (i'm not affiliated with them).  also www.scholarsfor911truth.org .\n\nthere are many more but those will get you started :)

Despite what the others say I do think that the goverment had something to do with 9/11.my thoughts are slightly different though.I think the government wanted to start a war so that they wouldn't look so bad starting a fight over oil, money, or drug dealings gone bad.They blamed the whole thing on one terrorist but went after a different one.Here it is one war and another term later the issue of 9/11 and the truth still hasn't been understood. it is rarley even talked about. All those people died so that "key players" wouldn't look guilty.This is just an opinion not a fact.

I believed the official story of 9/11 for a while. Then I woke up. Though some of the official story may be true, too much of it has been de-bunked and now it just doesnt add up. People can beleive what they like, but lets take a look at some issues of concern. Great question!\n\nWe are a country that spent five years and $100 million investigating President Clinton. We probed the depths of the Iran-Contra scandal – a debacle that would have never come fully into the public eye had a special investigator not been appointed.\n\nThe 9/11 Commission interviewed two of it's own members and spent only $3 million. We have spent far more energy, money and time seeking the leak of Valerie Plame's identity and Barry Bonds' use of steroids. \n\nDonald Rumsfeld, Gen.

Bush’s multi year WTC contract was to end on 9/11/2001. Bush signed W199I- WF-213589 months before 9 11 ordering FBI not to stop Al-Qaeda. John P. O'Neill accepted Bush’s old job.
