Nine Unpopular Ideas on 9/11
by Robert Lederman
October 24, 2001

Are you less than satisfied with the official explanations about 9/11?   
Here are nine for the moment relatively unpopular but nevertheless 
compelling ideas to consider about the attack. Americans who tend to believe 
in any or all them are in the minority right now. Perhaps they won't be in 
the near future.


1. This new war is not a conflict between Islamic fundamentalism and 
American freedom. 

2.The destruction of the WTC was anticipated, and might have been preventable. 

3. The Rockefeller connection may be the key to unlocking an understanding 
of this entire issue. Why has their connection to the WTC been omitted from 
99.999% of the media coverage about 9/11? 

4. Anthrax may not be getting sent to the media and to Congress by terrorists. 

5. This conflict is about oil not terrorism, Israel or Islam. 

6. Are we bombing the wrong country? 

7. Bush is not doing a good job of protecting America. It would be far more 
accurate to say he's doing a good job of destroying it. 

8. There is an occult aspect to the attacks which cannot be ignored or 
attributed to coincidence. 

9. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani did not unify New York City, but has done 
everything in his power to destroy the electoral process and guarantee 
future social chaos. 

Rather than attempt to provide a lengthy proof of each idea which would 
require a book-length report, here are one or more references from which you 
can learn more. Every one of these ideas has voluminous documentation which 
can be found in the mainstream media, on the net or in reputable books if 
one looks for it.

Are these ideas true, are they connected and do they point to an even more 
sinister explanation for 9/11 than is popularly held? I'll let you be the 
judge, which is more than our newly popular leaders are willing to do. While 
to some it may seem unpatriotic to question the government's actions at this 
time of crisis let us remember that the original purpose of free speech was 
to enable Americans to ask exactly these kind of unpopular questions of our 
elected leaders. Real unity cannot be based on deceiving the American people.


1. This new war is not a conflict between Islamic fundamentalism and 
American freedom.

According to President Bush, we are now at war with "the evil-doers" who 
hate our freedoms and way of life. Reasonable enough, but to be complete the 
list of evil-doers involved with terrorists would have to include most of 
the nations in our present coalition, the CIA, many of Americas' top 
corporations and some of its' wealthiest and most respected families. 
Leading the list of those connected to the alleged terrorists are former 
President Bush, GW Bush and a number of key cabinet members of both Bush 
administrations who have been in business with the wealthy Saudis who 
finance Usama bin Laden's operations and with the bin Laden family itself 
for decades.

Bin Laden Family Could Profit 
From a Jump In Defense Spending
Due to Ties to U.S. Bank

Through this investment and its ties to Saudi royalty, the bin Laden family 
has become acquainted with some of the biggest names in the Republican 
Party. In recent years, former President Bush, ex-Secretary of State James 
Baker and ex-Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci have made the pilgrimage to 
the bin Laden family's headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Mr. Bush makes 
speeches on behalf of Carlyle Group and is senior adviser to its Asian 
Partners fund, while Mr. Baker is its senior counselor. Mr. Carlucci is the 
group's chairman. Osama is one of more than 50 children of Mohammed bin 
Laden, who built the family's $5 billion business, Saudi Binladin Group, 
largely with construction contracts from the Saudi government.

2. The destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) was anticipated and might 
have been preventable.

Outside of the mainstream U.S. media - which proudly admits it is censoring 
itself at the request of the Bush administration - there are hundreds of 
articles and reports detailing the foreknowledge of various U.S. agencies 
and officials about a terrorist attack taking place around 9/11. The sources 
of these reports include many of our allies in the new war.

David Schippers the Republican lawyer who impeached President Clinton, 
claims he spent months before 9/11 trying to get information to Attorney 
General Ashcroft from FBI agents who claim they were told not to investigate 
leads that suggested a terrorist attack on Manhattan was imminent. For a 
transcript of Schippers' interview Click Here 

After having been bombed in 1993 the WTC was probably the building complex 
in the U.S. most expected by Federal authorities to be the subject of a 
future terrorist attack. Various books and movies had such an attack, in 
some cases involving hijacked jets, as part of their plot. A FEMA emergency 
response manual, titled: Emergency Response To Terrorism ERT: SS Q 534 
(Click Here), featured the WTC on its' cover. Why were the Federal 
government and the Giuliani administration seemingly so unprepared on 9/11?

A Daily News article details that numerous children in the NYC Muslim 
community made public statements shortly before 9/11 about what was to 
happen to the WTC. Are we to believe school kids knew and publicly bragged 
about it, but the CIA didn't know?

3. The Rockefeller connection may be the key to unlocking an understanding 
of this entire issue. Why has their connection to the WTC been omitted from 
99.999% of the media coverage about 9/11?

From "A View Of Cities site"
Click Here

"The World Trade center was a project started up in 1960 by David 
Rockefeller. The towers were sometimes nicknamed David and Nelson, the 
Rockefeller brothers." 

a. The secretive Rockefeller family is considered by many authors to have 
been one of the main forces behind the scenes of the Ford, Reagan, Carter, 
Bush and Clinton presidencies. The Rockefeller family is the world's #1 
promoter of eugenics, was half-owner of Nazi Germany's IG Farben and is at 
the center of virtually every organization and idea associated with The New 
World Order.

For proof of the Rockefeller owned Chase Bank's Nazi connection see: "Chase 
Manhattan Banks Right wing Relationship" Click Here

For an excellent article on Rockefeller and the WTC written before 9/11 
Click Here.

b. According to bin Laden his main problem with the U.S. involves us being 
in Saudi Arabia and propping up their unpopular regime. The Saudi royal 
family bin Laden hates so much is kept in power by men who work for the 
Rockefeller family and the CIA to insure the flow of oil to Standard Oil and 
other U.S. oil corporations. WWII, the Holocaust, the Arab-Israeli conflict, 
the Gulf War and the present war on terrorism all share a direct connection 
to the Rockefeller dynasties' oil interests. Standard Oil, now called Exxon, 
is the most powerful corporation on earth.

For a very detailed account of this Middle Eastern oil story and how it has 
shaped both recent American and world history see, "The Secret War Against 
the Jews" by John Loftus and Mark Aarons, St. Martin's Press. John Loftus is 
a former U.S. Department of Justice Nazi war crimes prosecutor.

The New Yorker, 10/22/2001
King's Ransom 
by Seymor Hersh
Previous to becoming Bush's top foreign policy advisor, Condolezza Rice was 
on the board of directors of Exxon which named an oil tanker after her. Dick 
Cheney, GW Bush and many of his top aides are also heavily invested and 
involved in the oil industry.

c. David Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank is also the main sponsor of the 
Manhattan Institute (MI) a think tank founded by Reagan's controversial CIA 
director William Casey. MI is the source of just about all of President 
Bush's and Mayor Giuliani's policy ideas, a fact which they are very proud 
to admit.

Many of Bush's cabinet members and advisors are also closely associated with 
MI, which invented the classic doublespeak slogan, "compassionate 
conservatism". Casey, who was intimately linked to the Rockefeller empire 
throughout his career, was the top CIA official behind arming bin Laden and 
training his terrorist army. Is it just another coincidence that George Bush 
Sr. was Vice President and NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the third highest 
official in the Justice Department during this same time?

William Casey's activities before his death and the Manhattan Institute's 
agenda are intimately connected to Wall Street and to the oil industry. 
While MI is best-known for its policy papers on race, welfare and urban 
planning its' board includes Wall Street investment bankers deeply involved 
with oil, geo-politics and the military-industrial complex.

d. The WTC was a financial failure from day one and was completely outmoded 
as a real estate holding. Its design made updating the buildings for 
contemporary fiber optic and other telecommunications systems exorbitantly 
expensive. Now that it has been so tragically destroyed, real estate 
interests are clamoring to rebuild it and will do so in large part at U.S. 
government expense. Insurance companies which are among the world's most 
profitable corporations may not even have to pay claims for this or future 
terrorist attacks. See: NY Times October 22, 2001 Insurers Push for Cap on 
Future Payouts

4. Anthrax may not be getting sent to the media and to Congress by so-called 
terrorists.

If bin Laden or Iraq want to wipe out Americans with anthrax, they're doing 
a poor job of it. The main people who have been infected so far are 
assistants to key members of the media, mail handlers and a few aides to the 
Congress.

On the other hand, if someone was trying to boost sales for Cipro and the 
stock prices of companies manufacturing vaccines and pharmaceuticals - many 
of which are directly connected to the Bush and Rockefeller families and 
Bush administration officials - they are doing an exceptional job of it. 
Medical experts anticipate that widespread use of Cipro will make the 
American public far more vulnerable to all forms of disease by causing 
pathogens to mutate into antibiotic resistant strains (see: NY Times October 
19, 2001-THE MEDICATION Experts Say Cipro Overuse Could Lead to Problems). 
In light of the Bush and Rockefeller dynasties' historical interest in 
pharmaceuticals, eugenics and population control, might that have something 
to do with the concerted effort behind Cipro becoming more in demand than 
Viagra and the government proposing a (mandatory?) nationwide smallpox 
vaccine program?

In all the hysterical Cipro-centered coverage about the "evil-doers" who are 
using anthrax a basic fact is often omitted. It was the first Bush 
administration and our coalition allies which originally gave anthrax and 
seventy other biological and chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein. The U.S. 
has led the world in production of chemical and biological warfare agents.


NY Times October 21, 2001
BUGGY
Preparing America for the Reality of Germ Warfare
Before President Richard M. Nixon renounced germ warfare in 1969, for 
example, the United States Army produced dried anthrax, a single gallon of 
which could hold up to eight billion lethal doses - enough in theory to kill 
every person on the planet, twice.

One of many drugs which can be used for the treatment for anthrax exposure, 
Cipro, is now mentioned every few minutes on every news show in America. 
Cipro is a fairly dangerous drug manufactured by the German company Bayer. 
Cipro was already Bayer's most profitable product before 9/11 and sales are 
now up according to the NY Times 1,000%. Bayer's Cipro patent expires in 
2003. According to some medical experts, garlic may be just as effective as 
Cipro and far safer for fighting infection by anthrax.

Before the end of WWII Bayer was the main component of I. G. Farben, the 
chemical, pharmaceutical and munitions powerhouse behind the rise of Nazi 
Germany. For information on I.G. Farben's remarkable parallels and links to 
the Bush administration see my articles, "What's Hiding in GW's Cabinet" and 
"The GW Bush Gang" 

Even if it turns out that Iraqi or bin Laden-connected terrorists are 
mailing anthrax to locations in the U.S., it was the first Bush 
administration and our allies which originally gave it to them.

It is alleged that among the top stockholders in Bioport - the only company 
with an anthrax vaccine - is the Carlyle Group. Among the top participants 
in the Carlyle Group? The Bush and bin Laden families.

5. This conflict is about oil not terrorism, Israel or Islam

The U.S. was planning to invade Afghanistan long before 9/11 and not in 
order to stop terrorists or help Islamic women denied human rights by the 
Taleban. Such an invasion would have been widely criticized if not 
politically impossible before 9/11. Afghanistan is crucial to the creation 
of an oil pipeline that has long been a key preoccupation of the 
Rockefeller, Bush and related oil interests.

"In spite of this, a route through Afghanistan appears to be the best option 
with the fewest technical obstacles. It is the shortest route to the sea and 
has relatively favorable terrain for a pipeline. The route through 
Afghanistan is the one that would bring Central Asian oil closest to Asian 
markets and thus would be the cheapest in terms of transporting the oil."

6. Are we bombing the wrong country?

According to FBI reports most of the suspected 9/11 hijackers were not 
planning to commit suicide and were unaware of the plan to crash the planes 
into various buildings. That coupled with the fact that false identities 
were used by all the suspected hijackers makes it possible that Islamic 
terrorists may have had little understanding of the real purpose of the 
hijackings even if they were on the planes. It appears that none of the 
hijackers were even from Afghanistan, the country we are now bombing, 
invading and trying to overthrow. If we are going after the source why 
aren't we invading Saudi Arabia where many of the hijackers were from? 
According to the Bush administration, Saudi Arabian billionaires are the bin 
Laden terrorist networks main source of funding. If we are after the Taleban 
then why is Pakistan, the Taleban's main ally among nations and the sponsor 
of the radical religious schools from which bin Laden draws his recruits, 
our closest ally?


From: The UK Guardian Sunday October 14, 2001
The Observer 
Click Here
Attackers did not know they were to die 
"FBI investigators have officially concluded that 11 of the 19 terrorists 
who hijacked the aircraft on 11 September did not know they were on a 
suicide mission, Whitehall intelligence sources said last night...It is 
understood the FBI has found evidence suggesting the 11 men expected to take 
part in 'conventional' hijackings - with the planes flown to distant 
airports, and the passengers and crew taken hostage while the hijackers 
presented demands. Items found among the 11 men's possessions suggest they 
had been preparing themselves for incarceration. One source said: 'It looks 
as if they expected they might be going to prison, not paradise.' The FBI 
analysis concludes the 11 may have believed the purpose of the hijackings 
was to free the perpetrators of previous extremist terrorist attacks on the 
United States, such as the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993."


7. Bush is not doing a good job of protecting America. It would be far more 
accurate to say he's doing a good job of destroying it.

The super "patriotic" Bush family have a consistent habit of building up 
dictators, supplying them with arms, reaping the profits for themselves and 
their wealthy friends and then declaring their onetime allies to be the 
ultimate evil requiring a new war and the loss of American lives.

GW Bush's grandfathers were key supporters of and Wall Street investment 
bankers for Adolf Hitler during more than a decade preceding the U.S. 
entering WWII. In 1942 the U.S. Congress seized their assets as Nazi fronts 
under the Trading With the Enemy Act. Former President Bush and some of his 
top his cabinet members were very close allies of Saddam Hussein before the 
Gulf War, which may have begun when the Bush administration signaled Iraq 
that an invasion of Kuwait would be tolerated by the U.S. Under the 
Reagan-Bush administration (in large part run by former CIA director and 
Reagan Vice President, George Bush) Usama Bin Laden was financed, armed and 
had his army of terrorists - "the evil-doers" - trained by the CIA. The 
wealthy Saudis who are bin Laden's money men are also business partners with 
the Bush family. At what point will Americans dare to question the President 
about these business relationships?

8. There is an occult aspect to the attacks which cannot be ignored or 
attributed to coincidence.

The article at the website below is truly amazing and thought-provoking. 
Whether or not you believe in God, numerology or the occult this article is 
well worth reading. You may have already seen a breakdown of the 
numerological repetition of the number 11 in this event, but this article 
goes much deeper into what it might actually mean.

Click Here for original
The attacks took place on 9/11 

9+1+1 = 11 
Each WTC Tower had 110 floors, which is a multiple of 11 
American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane flown into World Trade Tower2, 
had 11 crewmembers. A total of 65 people were on Flight 11. 6+5 = 11 
The second plane, United Airlines Flight 175, hit the World Trade Tower 1 at 
9:02 AM. 9+2 = 11 
9/11 is the 254th day of the year. 2+5+4 = 11 
After 9/11, there are 111 days left in the year 
New York City (where the major attack occurred) consists of 11 letters 
New York was the 11th state admitted into the Union 
President Bush ordered flags to fly at half mast until 9/22, making an 11 
day period of mourning. 


9. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani not only did not unify New York City but he has 
done everything in his power since 9/11 to destroy the electoral process and 
guarantee future social chaos.

There are few examples of a public image changing so radically and rapidly 
as Mayor Giuliani's has since 9/11. Within hours of the WTC attack and 
continuing ever since the media has been bombarding us with empty propaganda 
about Giuliani being a hero, an icon and a savior. This is by the same 
corporate media who for eight years consistently described him as a 
heartless, racially-biased violator of the Constitution who denied raises 
and up-to-date equipment to the EMS, police and fire departments and 
regularly delighted in exacerbating the City's racial, economic and social 
divisions for his personal political gain.

Giuliani, or Sir Rudy as he is now known, has managed to turn the WTC 
disaster into a personal bonanza of goodwill culminating most recently in an 
honorary knighthood bestowed upon him by none other than the Queen of 
England. Surrounded at every opportunity with real heroes - police officers, 
firemen and rescue workers - Giuliani routinely leads celebrity tours of 
ground zero and depicts himself as responsible for the spirit of cooperation 
New Yorkers have shown for three centuries. Are these non-stop emotional 
tributes to firemen and police intended to keep anyone from asking the 
question, who screwed up? 

While his "heroic" actions involved holding hourly press conferences notable 
for their lack of information, appearing on every news and entertainment 
show to take credit for his efforts and lecturing the UN General Assembly on 
the superior value of electoral freedom, behind the scenes Giuliani and his 
staff were feverishly trying to prevent the 2001 NYC election from ever 
taking place so that he could indefinitely stay in office.

What is never broached in the corporate media is that despite Giuliani's 
leadership for eight years the city's emergency planning was completely 
ineffective on 9/11. That anyone was saved from the WTC disaster is due to 
the sacrifices of the firemen, cops, Port Authority staff and EMS crews who 
risked and lost their lives, not Mayor Giuliani. Among the many unanswered 
questions since the attack, only a single columnist has dared to ask in 
print why Giuliani located his $15 million emergency bunker - complete with 
6,000 gallons of highly flammable fuel - on the 23rd floor of the very NYC 
building complex most expected by FEMA and other Federal agencies to be 
bombed by terrorists.


Village Voice 10/8/2001 
From: La Dolce Musto
But before you decide: In '99, despite complaints-like how the building was 
a potential target and also happened to be owned by a political 
supporter-our mayor had an emergency bunker built at 7 World Trade Center. 
Legendarily enough, a 6000-gallon fuel tank was installed there to run the 
generators in case of a power outage. Well, when the planes hit the other 
two towers on September 11, flying debris fell on 7 WTC, which some insiders 
say ignited that very fuel. Still love Rudy?

Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is now bracing for a whole other order of urban 
treachery and cataclysm by building a $15.1 million emergency control center 
for his administration...bullet-proofed, hardened to withstand bombs and 
hurricanes, and equipped with food and beds for at least 30 members of his 
inner circle." -NY Times 6/13/98 Giuliani's $15.1 Million 'Emergency Control 
Center

Split in Ranks: 
Commissioner Hears the
Boos of Firefighters
But even as the events of Sept. 11 strengthened those bonds, it did little 
to soften the bitter feelings that many firefighters have long held for Fire 
Commissioner Thomas Von Essen [one of Giuliani's closest aides]. Indeed, on 
Saturday night, when Mr. Von Essen took the stage at a benefit concert at 
Madison Square Garden, many of several thousand firefighters in attendance 
joined in sustained booing...Mr. Von Essen's unpopularity was a problem of 
his own creation, the stubborn residue of five years in which he has butted 
heads with many firefighters, officers, emergency medical technicians and 
the unions that represent them. "The E.M.S. people have been unhappy with 
Von Essen for years," said Robert Ungar, a spokesman for the emergency 
medical technicians' union. "This crisis wasn't going to change 
that."...Similarly, Capt. Peter Gorman, the president of the Uniformed Fire 
Officers Association and one of Mr. Von Essen's harshest critics, also 
declined to speak of their relationship or the conduct of firefighters at 
the Garden. "I have and continue to have serious labor-management issues, 
but we have agreed to put them on the back burner," he said...Others 
complained that Mr. Von Essen has been on television too much, appearing 
with David Letterman, standing alongside Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani at news 
conferences and being honored by the British government instead of being 
with them at ground zero.

Questions About Safety of Workers
Hundreds of injuries to workers combing through the rubble at the World 
Trade Center might have been prevented had the city been faster to require 
proper training and equipment at what is still an "extremely hazardous" work 
site, according to a sharply worded federal report. "There is no excuse for 
what I saw," John Moran, an engineer and industrial hygienist, said 
yesterday. Moran investigated working conditions at Ground Zero in the weeks 
after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks as a consultant to the National 
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The report he coauthored was 
released this week by the institute, an arm of the federal National 
Institutes of Health. "When I was up there, there was no evidence of any 
safety or health program or plan. It's the worst site I've ever seen - 
extremely hazardous. Very few of the workers were wearing even the most 
basic protective equipment," said Moran, who was at Ground Zero from Sept. 
22 to 27.

Price plummets as refugees seek cash in Pakistan 
To counter the Soviets, the CIA began to recruit, arm and train thousands of 
mujahedeen--holy warriors--from throughout the Middle East. From the outset, 
the CIA recognized the potential of stimulating drug production to finance 
the operation and to spread addiction among the poorly disciplined Soviet 
troops. President Jimmy Carter rejected using drugs as a weapon of war, but 
when the Reagan administration came to power in 1981, CIA Director William 
Casey jumped at it, according to the memoirs of some of the key players in 
the operation.

Tales of the Afghan Drug Trade,
Opium for the Masses
During the last few weeks of anthrax hysteria, a dozen or so U.S. reporters 
have pursued a more difficult, taboo story: opium's role as the centerpiece 
of Afghanistan's economy. That cursed country was already a place where 
children helped to harvest the gum from the poppies, working people kept 
opium in their homes rather than money in the bank, and the Taliban raked in 
up to $50 million a year in drug taxes...Writing for the Chicago Tribune on 
September 30, Islamabad-based Tom Hundley probed a little deeper, noting 
that during the 1980s, CIA director William Casey embraced the opium trade 
as a means to finance his covert war in Afghanistan. Translation: The Afghan 
fundamentalists may be drug lords, but they're our drug lords. They learned 
to trade drugs for arms 20 years ago, with the tacit approval of the CIA.
