The Book Of THoTH

Theories and Claims
Some advocates of this theory claim that, on the day of the terrorist attacks, Israeli workers were warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center (see Zionist conspiracy theories regarding the September 11, 2001 attacks), that key government officials were warned not to fly on aircraft heading through New York and Washington airspace, and that some important government officials were warned not to go on any planes about a day or two before the attack began. No evidence has ever been offered in support of these theories, although Attorney General John Ashcroft was earlier in 2001 warned off commercial flight "for the rest of his term" by the FBI [1] (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/07/ ... 3601.shtml); Willie Brown, then mayor of San Francisco, was warned the day before against flying [2] (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.c ... 229389.DTL); and several "top Pentagon officials" canceled 9/11 travel plans the day before.

Some critics say that the Bush administration did not follow its own protocols for dealing with hijacked planes (see links below). North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) were the ones responsible for America's air defense on 9/11. NORAD has also been the target of many conspiracy theories involving 9/11. Many of them say that NORAD was issued a stand-down order to send fighter planes to intercept the hijacked airliners from Vice President Dick Cheney himself. This has never been substantiated. An interesting twist is that from two years to two months before 9/11 NORAD was doing exercises to prevent the exact type of attacks that happened on September 11. One of the NORAD exercises involved a mock situation where hijackers took control of a passenger commercial airliner and used it as a missile to crash into the World Trade Center. George W. Bush was asked at a press conference if he knew terrorists like Al Qaeda would be thinking of using planes; his response was "We knew they hated us, but there was uh [pause] nobody in our government at least, and I don't think the prior government that could envision flying airplanes into buildings on such a massive scale."

Some people, including Richard Clarke, former counter terrorism chief for the White House during the 9/11 attacks, believe that immediately after the September 11 attacks, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld was already seeking evidence to put the blame on Saddam Hussein. Retired General Wesley Clark has alleged pressure on himself to participate in this effort, but his failure to provide evidence has drawn criticism. Richard Clarke also claims that Donald Rumsfeld, immediately following 9/11, said "There aren't any good targets in Afghanistan, but there are a lot of good targets in Iraq". Critics of Clarke say he had a personal vendetta against the White House and was only looking to garner fame for his upcoming book, which happened to be an expose' of the Bush administration's plan to shift blame away from Osama bin Laden and onto Saddam Hussein. Critics also claim that Bush has not allowed a proper investigation of the attacks (as of October 2003, the bipartisan commission continues to be barred from certain "key intelligence" documents by Bush, and is considering subpoena power [3] (http://reuters.co.uk/newsArticle.jhtml? ... ID=3690122) [4] (http://www.courier-journal.com/cjextra/ ... -3880.html).)

In addition, Bob Woodward writes in his book Plan of Attack of Rumsfeld on Sept. 11: "The notes show that Rumsfeld had mused about whether to 'hit S.H. @ same time -- not only UBL'..." (page 25). Also, a January, 2003 Washington Post article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dy ... ge=printer) stated the following:

"On Sept. 17, 2001 ... President Bush signed a 2½-page document marked "TOP SECRET" that outlined the plan for going to war in Afghanistan as part of a global campaign against terrorism.
Almost as a footnote, the document also directed the Pentagon to begin planning military options for an invasion of Iraq, senior administration officials said."

The terrible fact is that the administration took none of the steps that would have put the protection of human life ahead of a diverse set of economic and political interests, which included not offending our friends the Saudis and not hurting the share prices of airline corporations.

The warnings provided by intelligence agencies to the FAA were far clearer and more specific than suggested by Condoleezza Rice's testimony before the 9/11 commission when she reluctantly conceded the existence of a presidential briefing that warned of impending Al Qaeda attacks. Rice had dismissed those warnings as "historical," but according to the newly released section of the 9/11 report, an astonishing 52 of the 105 daily intelligence briefings received by the FAA - and available to Rice - before the Sept. 11 attacks made specific reference to Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

What has emerged, instead, is a portrait of an often bumbling terrorist gang allowed to wreak havoc because the top tiers of the administration were so indifferent to the alarms, which former CIA Director George Tenet described so graphically: "The system was blinking red."

Had the business-friendly administration put safety first and ordered a full complement of air marshals into the air, over the obscene objections of airlines loath to give up paid seats, nearly 3,000 people might not have died that day. And had the president of the United States taken some time from his epic ranch vacation that August to order a nationwide airport alert, two bloody wars abroad, as well as an all-out assault on civil liberties in this country, probably would not have happened.

Instead, an administration that resisted spending the tens of millions required to fortify airline security before 9/11 is nearing the $300-billion mark on Afghanistan and Iraq. And declassified documents have unmistakably said the latter had nothing to do with 9/11. Meanwhile, those countries that at least indirectly did, most notably "allies" Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, have been let off the hook.

Indeed, the 9/11 commission was not allowed to get near that story: It is an unnoticed but startling truth that the basic narrative on the tragedy derives from the interrogations of key detainees whom the 9/11 commissioners were not allowed to interview. Nor were they permitted to even take testimony from the U.S. intelligence personnel who interrogated those prisoners.

One day people will wake up to what's going on, I just hope it won't be too late.

The president of our company at the time was a former demolitions expert from DuPont. The one thing that will always stick in my mind from that morning is him saying, as the first tower was falling, "Oh my God. They took down the tower. Look at how straight it's falling. There's a reason demolitions is a billion dollar a year buisiness. Building's don't just fall straight down like that. Someone took it down very carefully."
